BUSN73-402: Quantitative Research Methods

This class is about extending your knowledge of statistics into the multivariate domain. Sampling from a subset of techniques that are commonly used in business fields and becoming proficient at identifying which techniques to use when. It is also about knowing when a technique is inappropriate, looking for violations of assumptions, diagnosing those violations and finding ways around them. Quantitative Methods provides a detailed understanding of the application of statistical methods in common use in business research. Multiple regression, correlation, and analysis of variance in terms of the general linear model are presented. An overall strategy for fitting and evaluating models to data using statistical applications packages is taught. Multivariate, non-linear, and non-parametric methods are introduced.
