Content
Contents :
  • Modelisation in management
  • Simple linear regression by ordinary least squares (OLS) : estimation and inference
  • Multiple linear regression (MLR) by OLS : estimation and inference
  • MLR with qualitative information
  • Specification, selection, stability and prevision in MLR

Teaching methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

  • Lectures
  • Case study
  • Exercices by groups
Teaching is organized on-site, but could be remotely in the event of changes in health conditions.
Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

Session 1 : Control in two parts
  • Part I : continuous assessment (/14 points)
    • mean of 5 notes obtained during the 5 latest courses
  • Part II :  case study, group work (/6 points), work taken into account only if the average test score is ≥ 7/20.
Session 2 : Individual written exam (with non-annotated form and statistical tables and a simple pocket calculator -non graphical and without full alphanumeric keyboard).
In the event of a change in health conditions towards a code orange or red, the evaluation can be organized remotely via a computer software provided to teachers and students by the university institution. The technical conditions of this evaluation related to the software will be specified to you at the moment the state authorities will have decided the sanitary conditions for the university institutions in case of evolution.

Given the health situation, teaching wille be done in synchronous distance mode this year.
Evaluation methods
Session 1 : Control in two parts
  • Part I : continuous assessment (/14 points)
    • average of 3 notes (i.e. 3 tests on Moodle during the course sessions of 01/03, 08/03 and 10/03).
  • Part II :  case study, group work (/6 points), work taken into account only if the average test score is higher than 7/20.
Session 2 : Individual written exam (with non-annotated form and statistical tables and a simple pocket calculator -non graphical and without full alphanumeric keyboard).
In the event of a change in health conditions towards a code orange or red, the evaluation of Session 2 can be organized remotely via a computer software provided to teachers and students by the university institution. The technical conditions of this evaluation related to the software will be specified to you at the moment the state authorities will have decided the sanitary conditions for the university institutions in case of evolution.
