Content: The course focus on two main topics. First concerns data analysis methods as well as graphical
visualisation, second relates to sales forecasting. Conceptual basis will be presented, models assumptions
along with diagnostics, validations and sources of common errors and provide a preliminary prescription
for avoiding them. Among the methods presented are: generalize linear models and multilevel modelling,
conjoint analysis, discrete choice models, principle components analysis and factor analysis, discriminant
analysis, model-based clustering and cluster analysis, hazard/survival models, event history models. As
the forecasting methods exponential smoothing with state-space approach will be presented as well as
autoregressive integrated moving average.
