Course Objective

With this course, it is aimed to establish/model the estimation and time series methods that DEÜ Industrial Engineering Department students may need in their professional lives, to interpret the results obtained as a result of the application with statistical analysis, and also to obtain method application gains by using basic statistical software.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to introduce basic information about forecasting and time series
2   To gain the ability to interpret the results by making the statistical inferences required for estimation on various data
3   To gain the ability to determine the appropriate regression method for the data and to interpret the results
4   To gain the ability to determine the time series method suitable for the data and interpret the results
5   To gain the ability to identify possible models that can be used in box-jenkins methodology for non-stationary data and to interpret the results
6   To gain the ability to analyze and interpret various estimation problems using basic statistical software
