Forecasting using Trend Analysis

( Duration: 2 Days )

The purpose of Forecasting using Trend Analysis training course is to cover the fundamentals and principles of linear programming, forecasting, trend analysis and simulation. This training provides a modern comprehensive survey of the principles and applications of forecasting methods in the world of commerce, public and private sectors. This course covers all necessary theory for a rigorous statistics approach, but all basic content is presented in an intuitive style supported with applications drawn from a wide variety of real sources and case studies.

Coverage ranges from a review of basic statistics, to thorough discussions of basic methods such as smoothing, trend, and regression, up to advanced techniques such as ARIMA, MARIMA, Neural Networks, Econometrics, and Intervention Analysis. The course builds a solid foundation to create a forecasting framework for your need.

The Forecasting using Trend Analysis workshop is appropriate for anyone in Business, Economics, IT, or Engineering.
