It provides a foundation for a self-critical and reflective approach to personal development to support the learner when operating at a strategic level. Wider context organisational and environmental factors are also considered as contributors to overall strategic success of the individual and theorganisation.
- Unsupervised Multivariate Methods — Data reduction is a key process in business analytics projects. In this unit, learners will learn data reduction methods such as PCA, factor analysis and MDS. They will also learn to form segments using cluster analysis methods. Forming segments and then analysing is a key technique for large groups of data and their intrinsic information comes out in detail once segmented thoughtfully.
- Time Series Analysis — The objective of this unit is to discuss time series forecasting methods. Learners will analyse and forecast macroeconomic variables such as GDP and inflation. Panel data regression methods will also be discussed in this unit.
- Advanced Predictive Modelling — In this unit, learners are introduced to model development for categorical dependent variables. Binary dependent variables are encountered in many domains such as risk management, marketing and clinical research and this unit covers detailed model building processes for binary dependent variables. In addition, multinomial models and ordinal scaled variables will also be discussed.
- Fundamentals of Predictive Modelling — This unit provides a strong foundation for predictive modelling. Its objective is to define the entire modelling process with the help of real life case studies. Many concepts in predictive modelling methods are common and therefore, these concepts will be discussed in detail in this unit. A good understanding of predictive modelling leads to a smart data scientist as many business problems are related to successfully predicting future outcomes.
