 Preface
B usiness Analytics 4E is designed to introduce the concept of business analytics to under-
graduate and graduate students. This edition builds upon what was one of the first collec-
tions of materials that are essential to the growing field of business analytics. In Chapter 1, we
present an overview of business analytics and our approach to the material in this textbook. In
simple terms, business analytics helps business professionals make better decisions based on
data. We discuss models for summarizing, visualizing, and understanding useful information
from historical data in Chapters 2 through 6. Chapters 7 through 9 introduce methods for both
gaining insights from historical data and predicting possible future outcomes. C ­ hapter 10 cov-
ers the use of spreadsheets for examining data and building decision models. In Chapter 11,
we demonstrate how to explicitly introduce uncertainty into spreadsheet models through the
use of Monte Carlo simulation. In Chapters 12 through 14, we discuss optimization models
to help decision makers choose the best decision based on the available data. Chapter 15 is an
overview of decision analysis approaches for incorporating a decision maker’s views about
risk into decision making. In Appendix A we present optional material for students who need
to learn the basics of using Microsoft Excel. The use of databases and manipulating data in
Microsoft Access is discussed in Appendix B. Appendixes in many chapters illustrate the
use of additional software tools such as R, JMP Pro and Tableau to apply analytics methods.
This textbook can be used by students who have previously taken a course on basic
statistical methods as well as students who have not had a prior course in statistics. Business
Analytics 4E is also amenable to a two-course sequence in business statistics and analytics.
All statistical concepts contained in this textbook are presented from a business analytics
perspective using practical business examples. Chapters 2, 4, 6, and 7 provide an intro-
duction to basic statistical concepts that form the foundation for more advanced analytics
methods. Chapters 3, 5, and 9 cover additional topics of data visualization and data mining
that are not traditionally part of most introductory business statistics courses, but they are
exceedingly important and commonly used in current business environments. Chapter 10
and Appendix A provide the foundational knowledge students need to use Microsoft Excel
for analytics applications. Chapters 11 through 15 build upon this spreadsheet knowledge
to present additional topics that are used by many organizations that are leaders in the use
of prescriptive analytics to improve decision making.

Updates in the Fourth Edition

The fourth edition of Business Analytics is a major revision. We have added online appen-
dixes for many topics in Chapters 1 through 9 that introduce the use of R, the exceptionally
popular open-source software for analytics. Business Analytics 4E also includes an appendix
to Chapter 3 introducing the powerful data visualization software Tableau. We have further
enhanced our data mining chapters to allow instructors to choose their preferred means of
teaching this material in terms of software usage. We have expanded the number of concep-
tual homework problems in both Chapters 5 and 9 to increase the number of opportunities
for students learn about data mining and solve problems without the use of data mining soft-
ware. Additionally, we now include online appendixes on using JMP Pro and R for teaching
data mining so that instructors can choose their favored way of teaching this material. Other
changes in this edition include an expanded discussion of binary variables for integer optimi-
zation in Chapter 13, an additional example in Chapter 11 for Monte Carlo simulation, and
new and revised homework problems and cases.
●● Tableau Appendix for Data Visualization. Chapter 3 now includes a new appendix
that introduces the use of the software Tableau for data visualization. Tableau is a very
powerful software for creating meaningful data visualizations that can be used to dis-
play, and to analyze, data. The appendix includes step-by-step directions for generating
many of the charts used in Chapters 2 and 3 in Tableau.
