Statistical Tests for Market Research
This course builds essential statistical analysis capabilities for market research professionals. Learners will develop a strong understanding of statistical package functionality and master techniques for comparing group differences through hypothesis testing. You'll move beyond raw data to defensible insights by learning not just how to run a statistical test, but why it matters and what it means for the business. Through practical, hands-on application in real-world scenarios—such as A/B testing and customer satisfaction analysis—you will build the analytical skills needed to draw statistically valid conclusions from research data. You will master the two-sample t-test in Microsoft Excel, learning to interpret key metrics like the p-value and translate them into clear, actionable business recommendations. This course provides the foundational skills to use statistical evidence to answer critical business questions, validate assumptions, and contribute to a culture of data-driven decision-making in your organization.

System Validation: Automata and behavioural equivalences
Have you ever experienced software systems failing? Websites crash, calendar not synchronising, or even a power blackout. Of course you have! But did you know that many of these errors are the result of communication errors either within a system or between systems? Depending on the system, the impact of software failures can be huge, even resulting in massive economic damage or loss of lives. Software, and in particular the communication between software-intensive systems, is very complex and very difficult to get right. However, we need dependability in the systems we use, directly or indirectly, to support us in our everyday lives. System Validation helps you to design embedded system behaviour that is structurally sound. It also forces you to make the behaviour simple and insightful; systems that are designed for sound behaviour are also much easier to maintain and adapt. System Validation is the field that studies the fundamentals of system communication and information processing. The techniques put forward in system validaton allow to prove the absence of errors. This first course ’Automata and behavioural equivalences', builds the foundation of the subsequent courses, showing you how to look at system behaviour as state machines. It discusses behavioural equivalences and illustrates these in a number of examples and quizzes. This course explains labelled transition systems or automata to model behaviour, especially for software controlled systems. An important question is when two behaviours represented by such automata are equal. The answer to this question is not at all straightforward, but the resulting equivalences are used as powerful tools to simplify complex behaviour. This allows us to exactly investigate and understand the behavioural properties of such systems precisely. Especially, in the combination with hiding of behaviour, equivalence reduction is a unique technique to obtain insight in the behaviour of systems, and is far more effective than simulation or testing. Using this insight we can make the models correct. Such models form an excellent basis for the production of concise, reliable and maintainable software. This course is part I of the set of courses for System Validation. System Validation, as a set of courses, is part of a larger 28DIGITAL online programme called 'Internet of Things through Embedded Systems'.

Business Models for Innovative Care for Older People
Aging has been coined as one of the major societal challenges. The fact that we simply live longer, is in itself not a problem but rather a triumph. However, this unprecedented demographic change significantly affects individual life histories through an increased number of e.g. lifestyle related chronic diseases. These extra life years, also have a massive imprint on the organization of welfare institutions and the financial sustainability of the welfare system. This course will introduce you to healthcare innovation within the field of healthy living and active aging. By following two specific cases on diabetes and rehabilitation, this interdisciplinary course will provide you with key theories, tools and concepts for analyzing and developing viable innovative solutions for aging populations. The lectures will cover demographic, biological, economic, social and cultural aspects of active aging and healthy living, along with lectures on current innovation theories and methods. During the course you will meet leading researchers and experts from among others: University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen Business School, Steno Diabetes Center in Copenhagen and Erasmus University of Rotterdam. They work with very different aspects of active aging and healthy living, from biomedicine to digital design, but what ties them together is the belief that an interdisciplinary approach to healthcare innovation will benefit the aging population. The course is part of the EIT Health Campus programme https://www.eithealth.eu/campus. We hope you will enjoy this course and equip yourself to take a more professional approach to healthcare innovation.

Banking & Finance in India
Welcome to the course “Banking and Finance Sector in India”! By the end of this course, you will develop an understanding of Banking and Financial systems in India. Finance is the backbone of any economic system; it facilitates trade by ensuring the smooth exchange of goods and services. Firms and governments require capital to sustain growth and development. Globalization and growth in international trade between nations imply more cross-border movement of goods and services and, thereby, the need for cross-border currency transactions. The finance sector comprises banks and financial intermediaries that facilitate the channel of money and funds from those who have it (savers/investors) to those who need it (borrowers). The eco-system of the finance sector comprises banks, financial institutions, Central Banks (Monetary Policy), the Reserve Bank of India (in the case of India), the government treasury (Fiscal Policy), and the regulators of specific bodies and institutions collecting public money. Over the years, the finance sector in India has widened and deepened in scale, size, and complexity. The working and benefits of a strong eco-system of the finance sector are facilitated by a strong Central Bank and a robust institutional, policy, and regulatory architecture.
