The main educational goal of the course is:
• acquaint students with the principles of multivariate quantitative analysis suitable for business and/or economics,
• teach students to apply appropriate sophisticated multivariate tools in solving practical problems in the field of economic practice,
• to support students' awareness in the selection, evaluation, identification and interpretation of the results of applied multivariate quantitative methods used.
Knowledge:
The successful graduate of the course will gain knowledge from the application of multivariate quantitative methods, which can be applied in decision-making in various areas of economic practice.
Competence:
After completing the course, the student is able to solve and analyze the problems of business and economic practice by applying appropriate multivariate statistical methods and procedures, interprets the results in a suitable way and draws conclusions based on empirical results.
Skill:
The graduate can implement, perform sophisticated multivariate statistical analysis, construct multivariate models, and draw relevant conclusions from applied multivariate statistical procedures and techniques. The student applies the acquired theoretical knowledge to solve specific business and economic problems.
