Description

This course extends the concepts of hypothesis testing and interval estimation.
In particular, these concepts are developed and applied in one and two-sample problems, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression and time series.
A consistent theme throughout the course is the concept of model building, in which the data are used in the development a parsimonious summary of the given situation.
It will be identified that the resulting models can be used to validate decisions and/or for predictive purposes.
The techniques developed in the course are widely applicable in a number of areas of management, including organizational behaviour, marketing, finance and economics.
