QNT531 Advanced Problems in Statistics and Research Methods
Course Description
This course extends the competencies developed in QNT 530 by introducing additional research methods and tools of statistical analyses, with the emphasis on case study and data analyses to further develop evaluative abilities in managerial decision making. Topics include analysis of variance, regression, non-parametric statistics, and time series and forecasting.
