Data Analysis & Decision Making - III

By Prof. Raghu Nandan Sengupta | IIT Kanpur

Learners enrolled: 2250

This is the third part of the three part course (DADM-I, DADM-II, DADM-III) which covers "Operations Research and its tools with applications". In general Decision Analysis and Decision Making (DADM) covers three main areas which are: Multivariate Statistical Analysis with its applications, Other Decision Making Models like DEA, AHP, ANP, TOPSIS, etc., and Operations Research and its tools with applications. These three part DADM course will be more practical and application oriented rather than theoretical in nature.
