UQx: Statistics for Business Analytics: Modelling and Forecasting

This is a great course for anyone who wants to gain foundational and critical analysis and statistics skills with no prior background.

In this course, we explore statistical methods for examining the relationships between variables. We also consider how data from the past can be used to make forecasts about likely future trends. We want to be able to answer questions like:

  • What is the strength of the relationship between quality of customer experience and the likelihood of repeat purchases?
  • How accurately can we predict residents’ use of a local park based on their known demographics?
  • In what way are sales likely to fluctuate over the next 6 months, based on past data?

We consider questions like these across three topics:

  • Topic 1 starts with simple, familiar ideas like correlation and builds on these to consider how simple linear regression can be applied to quantify the relationships between variables.
  • Topic 2 examines multiple linear regression and considers how we can establish models that allow us to predict values for variables of interest in circumstances where there are many variables at work.
  • Topic 3 considers the details of time series forecasting , using different methods of trend fitting to make predictions about future data.
