Data Analysis and Decision Making - I

This is the first part of the three part course (DADM-I, DADM-II, DADM-III) which covers Operations Research and its tools with applications. In general Decision Analysis and Decision Making (DADM) covers three main areas which are: Multivariate Statistical Analysis with its applications, Other Decision Making Models like DEA, AHP, ANP, TOPSIS, etc., and Operations Research and its tools with applications. These three part DADM course will be more practical and application oriented rather than theoretical in nature.
