Predictive Analytics and Business Forecasting

Presented by the University of North Texas
7:30 a.m. Breakfast & Check-in | 8:00-9:45 a.m. Program | 2 CPE credits
Predictive modeling and applied statistical forecasting models that are of major interest to business, government and academia. While the desire to forecast the future is older than science, recent advances in IT and analytics are making a multitude of options available to anybody with a device and internet connection. This presentation is an overview of modern forecasting techniques and their business applications in managerial decision support. The covered topics include time series smoothing and decomposition models, autoregressive and moving average models, the detection of change, short-term versus long-term forecasts, and the role of cognitive biases in forecasting practice.
Dr. Nicholas Evangelopoulos, Professor, University of North Texas
