MGTSC 212 - Probability and Statistics for Business

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-1)

This course deals with model building, multiple regression analysis, and related methods useful in a business environment. Microcomputer software will be utilized throughout the course, with necessary computing skills being taught as the course proceeds. However, students are expected to already possess some basic familiarity with microcomputer applications. Prerequisite: STAT 161 or equivalent. Credit will be granted for only one of MGTSC 212 (formerly MGTSC 312) and STAT 252. Students may not receive credit for both MGTSC 212 and MGTSC 312.

OM 252 - Operations Management

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

A problem-solving course which introduces the student to deterministic and stochastic models which are useful for production planning and operations management in business and government. Note: Students are expected to have basic familiarity with microcomputer applications. Prerequisite: MATH 154 or equivalent and STAT 161 or equivalent. Students may not receive credit for both OM 252 and OM 352.

OM 420 - Predictive Business Analytics

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Application of predictive statistical models in areas such as insurance risk management, credit risk evaluation, targeted advertising, appointment scheduling, hotel and airline overbooking, and fraud detection. Students will learn how to extract data from relational databases, prepare the data for analysis, and build basic predictive models using data mining software. Emphasizes the practical use of analytical tools to improve decisions rather than algorithm details. Prerequisite: MGTSC 352 or OM 352.

Students will learn how to extract data from relational databases, prepare the data for analysis, and build basic predictive models using data mining software. Emphasizes the practical use of analytical tools to improve decisions rather than algorithm details. Prerequisite: MGTSC 501.

MMA 605 - Statistics Analytics and Causal Inference

3 units (fi 6)(FIRST, 3-0-0)

This course provides students with a robust foundation in statistical principles and techniques, alongside essential skills in descriptive analytics and causal inference. Students will develop strong analytical skills and gain hands-on experience with statistical software. Further delving into time series analysis, multivariate analysis and enhanced predictive modeling. Students will also gain proficiency in experimental design including ANOVA and A/B testing.
