MSBA 635

Data Analytics II

This course builds on the MSBA 620 course by introducing more advanced topics in analytics. This course challenges and teaches students how to use powerful statistical tools (e.g., SmartPLS, SAS, and SPAA) to handle data that come in a variety of forms and sizes in more complex, less structured business situations. Students will participate in extensive hands-on work solving realistic business problems. This course may guide students with handling advanced regression analysis that deals with real-life models and interaction variables, time series analysis, and topics such as PLS path modeling. After taking this course, students should: 1) Approach business problems data analytically; 2) think systematically whether and how data can help make better informed decisions; 3) be able to interact competently with business analytical tools; and 4) have had hands-on experience mining data
