I've been thinking about the software we are using, and the fact that some of you might have a hard time using either the library or lab workstations to access Palisades. So I have rewritten parts of the course (eg Part 3 Regression, Part 4 Time Series) so that we use basic Excel. I think we can also use Excel for Part 5 but I am not sure yet. This will make it easier for you to cooperate on your projects/assignments.
However, Excel can't do the decision-tree work we have been performing with Precision Tree, and I don't think it can Part 6 Simulation. So....
There is a lot of free open-access software about. If you can, please take a look and see if there is anything we could use. It would need to be reliable and 'safe' of course. Thanks to anyone taking on this challenge!
