The UCF Team won the 2011 SAS Data Mining Shootout.\u00a0SAS and the Central Michigan University Research Corporation teamed up to offer the data mining academic community an opportunity to put their data mining skills to the test.<\/p>\n

The Fifth Annual Data Mining Shootout gave student teams the opportunity to solve a real-world data mining problem. Student teams from any accredited college or university in the United States were eligible to apply.\u00a0 Teams were given a hypothetical, but common business problem to solve. Data was provided and the solution required the selection and use of appropriate data mining methods using SAS software.\u00a0 UCF beat out sixty teams from universities such as NC State, Penn State, Louisville, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Southern Methodist and many others for first place.<\/p>\n

The top three teams were recognized at Analytics 2011, SAS’ Annual Analytics Conference on October 24-25 in Orlando.<\/p>\n
