商品描述

This book is written for the students and practitioners who are looking for a single introductory Excel-based resource that covers three essential business and analytical skills—Data Analysis, Business Modeling, and Simulation of Complex Problems. The focus of the book is clearly on analysis of problems for decision making, yet detailed explanations regarding how to use Excel tools are provided. After many years of teaching and consulting, it is abundantly clear to me that for most students, a good example is worth its weight in gold. This book contains many excellent examples in each chapter, some simple and others more complex, and there is an abundance of exhibits to guide the student through the maze of steps necessary for each analysis.

The content is quite diverse: data presentation — the Feng Shui of spreadsheets, effective communication and collaboration, data preparation — import, scrub, manipulate data, data analysis — statistical methods: descriptive, inferential, and predictive, Design of Experiments, modeling — deterministic, probabilistic, What-if, Scenarios, simulation — quantifying uncertainty, Monte Carlo Simulation, optimization — constrained, Linear Programming, non-linear models, Goal Seek.

Couple these features with detailed discussions of how to realistically organize and extract insight from complex problems, and I believe you have a unique educational combination in one book.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是為學生和從業人員而寫的,他們正在尋找一本介紹性的基於Excel的資源,涵蓋了三個基本的商業和分析技能——數據分析、商業建模和複雜問題的模擬。本書的重點明確放在為決策做問題分析上,同時提供了如何使用Excel工具的詳細解釋。多年的教學和咨詢經驗告訴我,對大多數學生來說,一個好的例子價值連城。本書每章都包含許多優秀的例子,有些簡單,有些複雜,並且有大量的展示材料,引導學生完成每個分析所需的步驟。

內容非常多樣化:數據呈現——電子表格的風水、有效的溝通和協作、數據準備——導入、清理、操作數據、數據分析——統計方法:描述性、推斷性和預測性、實驗設計、建模——確定性、概率性、假設情景、模擬——量化不確定性、蒙特卡羅模擬、優化——受限制的線性規劃、非線性模型、目標尋求。

再加上對如何從複雜問題中實際組織和提取見解的詳細討論,我相信這本書結合了獨特的教育元素。
