Welcome
This case is intended to provide Business Analytics Masters students with a real-life, real-data, setting to implement the various stages of the Analytics Value Chain: Expoloratory, Predictive, and (coming soon), Prescriptive. The dataset offers the hallmarks and challenges of handling large data with various practically important but subtle considerations.
The case format is novel. It’s an online site which allows dynamic modifications. An evolving set of Exploratory notes provide background information (domain and methodology) and help guide students in their analysis. We believe the format better reflects the experiences of data scientists and business analytsts is practice. The are confronted by a semistructured patchwork of data, are asked to assume responsibility for various deliverables, and jave access to only a patchwork of problem context and background information.
This case site is under construction. Content is evolving! Users are encouraged to contact the authors for feedback and suggestions!
Please note the this case is intended for teaching purposes only and does not serve as endorsement of investment or management approaches.
