What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

📈

Conduct one-way ANOVA to compare three or more group means and follow up with post-hoc tests to identify which groups differ.

📏

Build and interpret multiple regression models with several predictors, and evaluate fit using adjusted R-squared.

📊

Apply logistic regression to binary business outcomes and interpret odds ratios for decision-making.

🔍

Decompose time series data, apply smoothing techniques, and generate business forecasts with confidence intervals.

🎲

Design and run Monte Carlo simulations to model uncertainty and support risk-aware strategic decisions.
