BAN 6002Predictive Analytics

Catalog

Graduate students only. This course extends the ideas of regression analysis introduced in BAN 6001. It takes a modern approach applicable to managerial decision making in the presence of Big Data. While the course focus centers around prediction, the course will also explore and emphasize the trade-off between prediction power and model interpretability. As the business world rapidly progresses towards a paradigm of data-driven decision making, the primary goal of this course is on understanding both the power and limitations of regression analysis.
