A Spotlight on Research at the Alberta School of Business
What does the 'Markov decision process' have to do with call centres?
My findings tell us...
- A new algorithm can improve firm solutions.
- Firms can minimize overall labour and waiting time costs using this new algorithm.
- This new algorithm finds a 'rule' that is simple to implement resulting in optimal staffing levels.
Courses
OM 420 - Predictive Business Analytics
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.
