Аннотация

This course covers the core set of statistical and econometric techniques as applied in empirical work with economic and business data. This is an obligatory course for the second-year students of Bachelor program “Business Informatics.” We start with an introduction to econometrics and discuss main types of data available for answering quantitative economic and business questions. Then we spend some time at summarizing the basic ideas of the theory of probability and statistics that are needed to perform descriptive statistics analysis, understand regression analysis and econometrics. After the introductory and review part, we learn how to perform simple and multiple regression analysis, create and test hypothesis on the real data, build your own models and assess their reliability.
