BA 710 - Applied Regression

(3)

At the core of most data analytics problems is the determination of cause-and-effect relationships. Regression analysis is a powerful technique for identifying both cross-sectional relationships (variables of interest are dependent upon other variables) and times series relationships (variables of interest are dependent upon time related variables, as is used for forecasting). In this course students will use regression analysis for the purpose of analyzing real business problems. The course is conceptual in nature with the focus on application and interpretation of regression analysis, a). Conceptual understanding will be emphasized over mathematical understanding.Numerous examples will be used to illustrate the concepts.
