Course Description
This course provides a detailed understanding of decision support systems through information that supports semi-structured and unstructured decisions in many organizations. This course covers decision support systems that focus on computer-based and user manipulation of source data extracted from an organization’s internal and external databases. This course expects students to understand decision support systems such as data warehousing and data marts, online analytic processing, Data Mining, and Geographic Information Systems. This course also covers the use of modern software, including SPSS, Clementine, and the popular GIS package MapInfo. This information is available to graduate students in both business and applied Statistics and also extends to other courses.
