A basic introduction to the concepts of regression (ordinary least squares estimation) and statistical inference, violations of the classical linear regression model and the consequences of these violations, practical ways of detecting (diagnostic testing) and solving these problems are included in this course. The aim is to reconcile economic theory with practice, thereby empowering delegates with analytical skills and a hands-on approach to decision-making processes.
The Time Series Econometrics for the Practitioner short course takes place in a computer lab on the main campus of the University of Pretoria. Delegates use EViews version 10 for practical applications.
