Section 1: Introduction
In this section, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of predictive modeling. The course begins with an overview of predictive modeling techniques and their applications in various industries. Students will gain an understanding of non-linear regression and how it can be used to model complex relationships in data. Additionally, they will learn about ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and control charts, essential tools for analyzing variance and maintaining quality control in processes. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises, students will learn how to interpret and implement predictive models using Minitab, a powerful statistical software.
Section 2: ANOVA Using Minitab
Section 2 delves deeper into the application of ANOVA techniques using Minitab. Students will explore the intricacies of ANOVA, including pairwise comparisons and chi-square tests, to analyze differences between multiple groups in datasets. Through real-world examples such as analyzing preference and pulse rate data, students will understand how ANOVA can be applied to different scenarios. Additionally, they will learn to compare growth and dividend plans in mutual funds using ANOVA techniques and examine NAV and repurchase prices to gain insights into financial data.
Section 3: Correlation Techniques
This section focuses on correlation techniques, which are essential for understanding relationships between variables in a dataset. Students will learn basic and advanced correlation methods and how to implement them using Minitab. Through hands-on exercises, they will interpret correlation results for various datasets, including return rates and heart rate data. Furthermore, students will analyze demographics and living standards data to understand the correlation between different socio-economic factors. Graphical implementations of correlation techniques will also be explored to visualize relationships between variables effectively.
Section 4: Regression Modeling
Section 4 covers regression modeling, a powerful statistical technique for analyzing relationships between variables and making predictions. Students will be introduced to regression modeling concepts and learn to identify independent and dependent variables in a dataset. They will develop regression equations and interpret the results for datasets such as energy consumption and stock prices. The section also covers multiple regression analysis, addressing multicollinearity issues, and introduces logistic regression modeling for predictive analysis of categorical outcomes.
Section 5: Predictive Modeling using MS Excel
The final section focuses on predictive modeling using Microsoft Excel, a widely-used tool for data analysis. Students will learn how to utilize Excel's Data Analysis Toolpak to perform descriptive statistics, ANOVA, t-tests, correlation, and regression analysis. Through practical examples and step-by-step demonstrations, students will gain proficiency in applying predictive modeling techniques using Excel's intuitive interface. This section serves as a practical guide for professionals who prefer using Excel for data analysis and predictive modeling tasks.
