Make Better Decisions, Leverage New Opportunities, and Automate
Decisioning at Scale
Prescriptive analytics is more directly linked to successful
decision-making than any other form of business analytics. It can help
you systematically sort through your choices to optimize decisions,
respond to new opportunities and risks with precision, and continually
reflect new information into your decisioning process.
In Prescriptive Analytics, analytics expert Dr. Dursun Delen
illuminates the field's state-of-the-art methods, offering holistic
insight for both professionals and students. Delen's end-to-end,
all-inclusive approach covers optimization, simulation, multi-criteria
decision-making methods, inference- and heuristic-based decisioning, and
more. Balancing theory and practice, he presents intuitive conceptual
illustrations, realistic example problems, and real-world case
studies-all designed to deliver knowledge you can use.
