Course covers the essential exploratory technique for summarizing data.  Modeling techniques covered include predictive modeling, also known as predictive analysis; cluster analysis, segmenting, affinity analysis, and applied predictive analytics.  Course is dependent on a sound understanding of statistical analysis techniques, such as regression analysis and hypothesis testing.  Prerequisite:  Undergraduate statistics course.

Delve into prescriptive analytics techniques to understand and improve a firm's organizational processes.  Specifically, diversity analytics, predicting employee turnover, predicting employee performance, recruitment analytics, and intervention impact will be covered by using analytics process models.

This course explores customer data analysis techniques and their theoretical foundations to help students acquire analytic skills that can be applied to real-world market-related problems from empirical data in such areas as segmentation, market positioning, satisfaction management, customer lifetime analysis, customer choice, and drive marketing maximization, effectiveness and optimization return on investment (ROI).  The course covers how to analyze data to understand customers and inform marketing decisions, evaluate the quality and usefulness of available data and analyses conducted by others, and communicate analysis-based conclusions to colleagues and managers.

Explore techniques to understand and improve businesses operational capabilities.  Process Analytics, focusing on individual processes to improve method performance, quantify the impact of randomness, and visualize process quality is covered.  The course analyzes issues related to the design and management of the Supply Chains using quantitative tools such as linear, integer, and non-linear techniques, regression, and statistical analysis to forecast uncertain demand, optimize inventory, and design distribution networks to ensure the supply demand.

Students participate in a seminar led by a faculty member.  Students are also required to be employed in a training position related to their concentration.  Coursework in the seminar is directly tied to the performance of activities of a regularly scheduled employee in operations and the student must complete a minimum of 80 contact hours with the employer during the practicum course.
