QBA 4720 - Prescriptive Analytics
Prescriptive analytics uses multiple techniques that recommend which course of action a decision maker should take within a business environment. The goal is to utilize these techniques to determine optimal strategies that can improve the results related to business decisions. In this course, students are introduced to concepts related to developing various linear and non-linear models within software tools that are commonly used by business professionals. Students apply optimization techniques to solve problems related to assignment, transportation, and network models as well as investigate other business scenarios that require additional theories such as integer and goal programing. In addition, students develop simulation models and utilize decision analysis strategies for conditions of uncertainty.
