Factors leading to events
In this module, you will learn why using rigorous statistical methods to understand the relationship between different events is crucial.
We’ll cover two examples: first, using a credit scoring example, you will learn how to derive information about what makes an individual more or less likely to have a strong credit score? Then, in a second example drawn from HR Analytics, you will learn to estimate what makes an employee more or less likely to leave the company.
As usual, we invite you to replicate those examples thanks to the recital
