Prerequisites

The completion of the course does not require any extra conditions and the course can be enrolled independently of the other courses.

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Business Economics and Management (programme OPF, D_EKOMAN4)

Course objectives

The aim of this course is to provide students with the necessary knowledge in modern mathematical-statistical methods, multi-criteria decision methods and methods of knowledge engineering. The subject is presented with respect to applications in economical area, particularly in marketing, management and finance. The aim is also to manage computational skills with the adequate software tools on PC, (i.e. Excel-Solver, SPSS, Expert Choice, DAME etc.). The students have the corresponding e-learning course at disposition and they have to solve three given case studies.

Syllabus

• Statistical methods and methods of economical data analysis, statistical methods of quality management.
  Analysis of data matrix. Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multi-dimensional regression and correlation analysis. Analysis of main components, factor analysis. Evaluation of production process.
  Econometric modeling.
  Classical linear regression model. Special problems of the linear regression model (dummy variables, generalized model). Regression models with delayed variables, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity. Case studies with using PC.
  Analysis of economical time series.
  Besic approaches to time series analysis, specific problems, decomposition of time series analysis (TSA). Box - Jenkins methodology: ARIMA a SARIMA models. Multi-dimensional TSA: VARMA. Cointegration, Error-Correction models. TSA by the SARIMA model and SPSS SW.
  Multi-criteria decision making methods.
  Multi-criteria decision making (DM). Analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Methods of DM under uncertainty and risk. Application of Excel and DAME when solving problems of DM. Case study with using Excel.
  Methods of knowledge engineering and data mining.
  Typical problems of knowledge engineering (KE) and data mining (DM). General methodology, questions, goals, applications. Expert and knowledge systems.
