Course Description
Course Objectives
This course aims to acquaint students with major statistical and quantitative tools used in modeling and analysis of business decision involving alternative choices.
Course Description
The component of the course includes regression analysis and models, time series analysis, and forecasting, linear programming models and applications, transportation and assignment models, network models, and simulation models with emphasis on business application.
Course Outcomes
By the end of this course students would be able to
- calculate and interpret the meaning of correlation coefficient to measure the strength of relationship between two numerical variables,
- calculate and interpret the meaning coefficient of determination to measure the predictive power of the simple as well as multiple regression,
- forecast the future values using various models, and
- optimize the resources in the business decision making process.
