Book Description
Data Science for Business and Decision Making covers both statistics and operations research while most competing textbooks focus on one or the other. As a result, the book more clearly defines the principles of business analytics for those who want to apply quantitative methods in their work. Its emphasis reflects the importance of regression, optimization and simulation for practitioners of business analytics. Each chapter uses a didactic format that is followed by exercises and answers. Freely-accessible datasets enable students and professionals to work with Excel, Stata Statistical Software®, and IBM SPSS Statistics Software®.
Combines statistics and operations research modeling to teach the principles of business analytics
Written for students who want to apply statistics, optimization and multivariate modeling to gain competitive advantages in business
Shows how powerful software packages, such as SPSS and Stata, can create graphical and numerical outputs
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Data Science for Business and Decision Making brings together the key topics required as the foundation for understanding and applying analytics for decision making. The authors have carefully selected the topics, and each one is clearly explained, described, and reinforced with a diverse set of exercises." --Rahul Saxena, Cobot Systems
"Data Science for Business and Decision Making provides a thorough essay about statistical methods which are commonly used in business without requiring a strong mathematical background. The presentation is rigorous and accessible thanks to a large number of examples that are developed step-by-step. The illustrations feature various software and the proposed exercises are particularly helpful for students and practitioners." --Francesco Bartolucci, University of Perugia
Review
Combines statistics and operations research to teach business analytics to those who want to apply quantitative methods in their work
From the Back Cover
Tangible competitive advantages can emerge from vast amounts of complex data translated into clear and manageable information. Data Science for Business and Decision Making covers both Statistics and Operations Research, while most competing textbooks focus on one or the other. As a result, it more clearly defines the principles of Business Analytics for those with backgrounds in business who want to apply quantitative methods in their work. Its emphasis reflects the importance of regression, optimization, and simulation for practitioners of Business Analytics. Each of its chapters uses the same didactic format followed by exercises with answers at the back of the book. Freely-accessible datasets enable students and professionals to work with Excel, Stata Statistical Software®, IBM SPSS Statistics Software®, and R.
