Introduction

This book serves as a companion for my Data Analytics Applications course. The objective of the course is to teach students how to use their statistical and machine learning models to analyze real world data and generate actionable insights. Although not all the exercises in this book will have actionable insights for managers, my focus is on business applications more than anything else. This is because I am a business management professor.1

I am in the process of making the code files available to everyone. I will update this text once I do so.

In this chapter, you will find information on various miscellaneous topics. Please go over the table content on the left sidebar to familiarize with the topics we will cover.
