This course presents an introduction to the statistical and management science techniques that are most commonly applied by managers in both the public and private sectors. It focuses on three main themes: data analysis, optimization, and decision making under uncertainty. The content is covered in an order to give students the opportunity to see tools that many students probably use often (e.g., descriptive and graphical methods plus forecasting) and then move into topics with which they may not be as familiar. Students will be exposed to descriptive analytics, predictive analytics (e.g., forecasting), prescriptive analytics (e.g., optimization), and emerging trends in Business Intelligence.
