Advanced Business Analytics

Catalog description

This course extends several of the foundation Business Analytics topics from DSS 220 to address more complex problem solving situations. Techniques to be covered are optimization models (linear programming, integer programming, non-linear programming and others), simulation models, optimization/simulation models, and decision analysis. These techniques will all be presented in the context of real world problems. To improve the students' ability to develop such models, fundamental problem solving skills of modeling and process analysis will be developed.
