BUS 481 Simulation for Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics

This course develops an understanding of the use of Monte Carlo Simulation in predictive and prescriptive analytics applications relating to highly complex systems. Emphasizes the use of object-oriented programming and standard Python libraries such as NumPy and SciPy. Strengthens modeling, logic design, and problem-solving abilities through construction of simulation models for predictive and prescriptive analytics.
