This course allows learners to explore Regression Models in order to utilise these models for business forecasting. Unlike Time Series Models, Regression Models are causal models, where we identify certain variables in our business that influence other variables. Regressions model this causality, and then we can use these models in order to forecast, and then plan for our business' needs. We will explore simple regression models, multiple regression models, dummy variable regressions, seasonal variable regressions, as well as autoregressions. Each of these are different forms of regression models, tailored to unique business scenarios, in order to forecast and generate business intelligence for organisations.

It was challenging and required me to really dig deep to understand the concepts, but the path was progressive in nature and the testing very hands on with the excel tools. Thank you.

I used to have a lot of fear when studying statistics and have encountered so many failures in learning statistics. However, I kept on learning and signing up for this course, to my amazement, Dr Prashan taught the course with so much ease and he made me felt like he is sitting right next to me and going through with me with a tone like a older uncle who just tell me exactly what I need to know. I take this course one whole day from about after dinner right to 3 AM in the morning and I learned so much and so confident that I can do real useful regression for business forecasting. I want to thank Dr Prashan for his time and dedication and make a hard subject so easy so I can finally nail the subject. I know the course was meant not to be very academically comprehensive rather it is a useful no-nonsense and get-to-the-point course yet it gave me so much fundamentals and confidence I already sign-up and complete other more advanced courses. I wish Dr Prashan all the best and thank you for his work and I just imagine how many students like me who have learned so much thanks to his wonderful teaching. Everyone says WOW
Exceptionally well presented. You will learn statistics and forecasting with the added benefit of learning how to conduct such analysis in Excel. There were a few minor errors it seems in some of the quizzes and assessments but nothing that would not cause a major impact in one's grade.

Great course recommended to all.
Best trainer on Coursera
Excellent course!
Thanks Dr/Parshan
I recently completed the second course in the Excel Skills for Business Forecasting specialization and I was very impressed. The course was comprehensive and covered regression models in great detail, including both linear and multiple regression. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear explanations and examples, making the material easy to understand. The hands-on practice and case studies were incredibly helpful in reinforcing the concepts. Overall, I found the course to be very practical and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their skills in business forecasting using Excel.
Honestly, I'm biased with all the courses from MacQuarie Universities, especially in Data Analysis (and Business Intelligence generally). Their courses are very helpful, well-prepared and -designed, lecturers explain clearly with a very catching voice, easy to understand. Modules are logic, assessments are quite right-fit with the courses, everything is just enough, no less no more. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much for sharing the valuable skills and knowledge provided by this course.
It really helps all students to gain knowledge and skills in business forecasting and gain expertise by practicing excel.
Overall I am very happy with completing this subject.
