Energy Training & Electric Power Classroom SeminarsThree Days: Energy Statistical Analysis Seminar and Workshop
A Three-Day Classroom Seminar (CPE Approved)
San Francisco, CA - May 1, 2 & 3, Holiday Inn-Fisherman's Wharf
Houston, TX - June 11, 12 & 13, Hotel Indigo Houston at the Galleria San Francisco, CA - August 21, 22 & 23, Holiday Inn-Fisherman's Wharf This course adds a third day to the popular Energy Statistical Analysis seminar to allow the time needed for a more in-depth discussion and explanation of many important topics. Additionally, this three-day course is designed as a hand-on workshop. Not only will you learn about practical energy statistical techniques and tools, but you will practice building statistical models in a workshop format. Learn why companies continue to be exposed to significant energy and electricity related price risk, and how risk and value are properly quantified. Energy and electricity companies worldwide depend on accurate information about the risks and opportunities facing day to day decisions. Statistical analysis is frequently misapplied and many companies find that "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." This comprehensive three-day program is designed to provide a solid understanding of key statistical and analytic tools used in the energy and electric power markets. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on exercises that you will complete using your own laptop, participants will learn and practice key energy applications of statistical modeling. Be armed with the tools and methods needed to properly analyze and measure data to reduce risk and increase earnings for your organization. A laptop is required. What You Will Learn
