Dear Forecasters!
Master student projects in Forecasting & Data Mining
The Lancaster Centre for Forecasting is offering a range of master
student projects in forecasting, marketing analytics and
data mining for this summer.
Projects run 4 months (21st May 2012 until 21st September 2012),
with joint supervision between the company and an expert from
the Centre for Forecasting. Students are normally based on-site
in your organisation with regular visits and input from their
Lancaster supervisor . Alternatively, students can work on a
dataset from Lancaster with scheduled visits to your organisation
as necessary.
Our post-graduate students are technically well qualified;
they all have good first degrees in a discipline with significant
quantitative material and have been following a variety of courses
at Lancaster in techniques, statistics, computing skills,
methodology and applications of Operational Research & Management
Science in general, and Forecasting and Data Mining in particular.
They are educated in forecasting (incl. Exponential Smoothing,
ARIMA, Dynamic Regression and Econometric Models etc. using standard
software packages such as Forecast Pro, EVIEWS, SPSS) and data
mining (incl. Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Neural Networks
etc. using standard software such as SAS 9.1 and SAS Enterprise Miner).
In addition, many have skills in other areas of Marketing Analytics,
Logistics and Supply Chain Management and Operational Research,
such as optimisation, simulation, stochastic modelling, logistics,
as well as systems analysis and project management, to suit your project .
These projects can be a particularly cost efficient way for a company
to carry out work for which it cannot find the internal resources,
to recruit new team members or to buy in external know-how.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss any possibilities.
Kind regards
Sven F. Crone
