Learning outcomes
The aim is to get a complex view about students knowledge in the courses of different quantitative methods covering statistical methodology for data analysis, time series analysis and models of decision theory.
Students have to prove their complex understanding of the basic terminology and principles of data analysis and decision making, they have to be able to respond to particular questions and to apply theoretical knowledge in examples.
Prerequisites
Student know statistical methodology and models for decision making. We suppose that student pass courses focused on basic statistical methodology, time series analysis, advanced course on data analysis (TPS or KTPS,SMAC or KSMAC,STMA or KSTMA) and Models of Decision Theory (RM, KRM, MDT or KMDT).
KMI/STATE and KMI/SCHMO

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Students know well the field of statistic methodology and decision making. They are able to recognize appropriate models from statistic methodology and decision making for their practical economic problems. Propose a solution and evaluate their results.
