Writing First Matlab Program




Writing your first Matlab code is offered to those researchers, faculty and students of Economics, Finance and other sciences who need to use Matlab for their routine Analytic. This course offers them to start writing their first Matlab Program, Function, Code or using M-files for further use and implementation. This course is based on total of 5 hours which can split into two sessions on each Saturday and Sunday or can be requested on same day (for a group of 10 or more) registrants.


Course covers the following:

·         Planning for Write Up
·         Basic Operator
·         Structure and Lines
·         Functions and embedding functions
·         Matlab m-Files
·         Inline Functions and the FEVEL command
·         Control Flow
·         Relations and Logical Operators
·         Strings
·         Cell Arrays
·         Rounding to Integers, Special Functions
·         Matlab Graphics

The course provides LIVE demonstration of how to write a code, function and then combine all the lines into a single program which can then be used for specific purposes or can be published online for public usage.
All the registrants will get lecture materials, flash animated e-books secured for the students only use, and practical will be completed by each student in a separate sessions which are to be booked with the instructor prior to each session.
Student needs to register on the e-Learning AnEc Portal on http://elearning.aneconomist.com and pay the course enrolment fee which is set for single registration of 5 hours as £50 and for groups’ upto a maximum of 10 registrations equal to £450. Single registration payments to be paid directly from the portal and Group invoice can be asked from the following email. All payments are processed via PayPal safest mode.

Applied Statistics for Business and Management


Language of Instruction: English

Course Description

Course Registration


Statistical Analysis of data for Business and Management professionals and academic researchers is vital. Although there are specialized courses in Statistics for the students of Business and Management but none of the courses offers specialization in either the SPSS or other computer packages. The current course introduces the application of SPSS and other computer application while emphasis is laid on the development of theoretical background of the learners. The contents of the course offered to students include (but are not limited) to:

  • Basic Data Management and Presentation
  • Hypothesis Testing and Research Problems
  • Causal Relationships, Regression Analysis and Applications
  • Qualitative Data Analysis for Binary and Multi-chotomous variables

Also the students of the course would be provided additional support via other mediums like phone, SMS, email beside the traditional and favorite WizIQ!

This course will benefit the students of MBA, BBA and Doctorate students in Business and Management courses have to study and develop the skills of Quantitative Data Analysis. This course will master these students in their Statistical courses.

Course Highlights
  • Apply Statistical Techniques to real world data
  • Apply Data Analysis to relevant research problems
  • Wide range of contents which are usually required in broader contexts

The course package:


  • 15 LIVE online classes
  • Duration: Two to Four Weeks (Negotiable)
  • All Days: 0500 PM to 1000 PM GMT (1000 PM to 0200 AM Pakistan Times)
 The course outline:

  • Deterministic Data and Random Data
  • Multivariate Tables, Scatter Plots and D Plots
  • Measures of Association for Continuous Variables
  • Measures of Association for Ordinal Variables
  • Measures of Association for Nominal Variables
  • Estimating Data Parameters
  • Parametric Tests of Hypotheses
  • Non-Parametric Tests of Hypotheses
  • Statistical Classification
  • Multiple Regression

The course is equally important to the beginners and advanced learners in Statistics, Social Sciences, Business and Management and Qualitative Data Analysis who want to blend their experimentation with their modeling and analysis using SPSS. The main objective of the course is to introduce the Theory and Application of Statistics and how to use the powerful Statistical Tool, SPSS. Objective of the course is specifically to develop strong academic knowledge in Applied Statistics and Qualitative Data Analysis Using SPSS.

The course is planned in three sections:

·         12 Weeks/Three Month Long Sessions
·         Eight Week/Two Months Sessions
·         Four Weeks/One Month Sessions

Registration Open: Click Here

·         Registration starts: Today
         Course Begins: Each Weekend

Main contents are:

·         Nature of Qualitative Data
·         Exploratory Statistics
·         Regression Analysis and Diagnostics
·         Factor Analysis
·         Regression Models with Limited Dependent Variable
  
All these topics will be discussed in context of SPSS

The course fee structure is designed;
For Individuals:
  • ·         Default (Pre-selected topics): 200GBP for three months,

Multilevel and Mixed Models Using Stata



Learn Multilevel and Mixed Models Using Stata

Description

The Four-Week (Four Hours per Week) course is designed to cover current and recent trends in multilevel/mixed models techniques being implemented in Stata. The course is aimed to social scientists, healthcare professionals and bio-statistic faculty and students who are interested in developing a more blended Econometric skill and a Stata mind. The course is targeted towards personal learning needs as every registrant will be provided a personal lecture time during the course. The course will be collaborative, using example datasets, interactive providing complete independence for Q&A and offer plenty of opportunities for personal and specific research questions. 

Registration Fee: 200GBP
