Course detail

Advanced Methods of Analyses and Simulation

ÚSI-RSPMOAcad. year: 2025/2026

The content of the subject “Advanced Methods of Analysis and Simulation” familiarises students with some non-standard advanced analysis methods and modelling techniques developed in order to support corporate decision-making. It focuses on issues present in the field of risk engineering via the explanation of theoretical principles, and involves students in learning to work with such theories, and their applications.

Entry knowledge

Knowledge from areas of mathematics (linear algebra, vectors, functional analysis, matrix operations) and statistics (analysis of time series, regression analysis, the use of statistical methods in economics).

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Attendance: 80% face-to face tuition, 20% distance learning.
Attendance in seminars will be checked - students must achieve at least 75% attendance in seminars.
Absence from seminars can be compensated for via a special assignment or test.

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with analysis methods and simulation techniques (fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms) via the explanation of the principles of these theories and their resulting applications in corporate decision-making, with a focus on the issues of risk management.
The knowledge and skills obtained from the course will enable students to apply a high-quality and modern approach to analysis and simulation (in the state and private sectors of the economy, organizations, firms, companies, banks, etc.) in order to support corporate decision-making, with a focus on the issues of risk management.
