Course Description: This certification course provides specific knowledge in understanding relationships among business variables and how to build regression/prediction models to formulate such relationships. Learners will attain the skill to apply predictive modeling to solve business problems or to support business decision making. The course teaches tools of prescriptive analytics to simulate a situation for business risk assessment or to enhance a certain business objective by maximizing or minimizing outcomes under certain conditions using linear programming.
