Publisher's Synopsis
The Applied CQRM Book Series showcases how the advanced analytics covered in the Certified in Quantitative Risk Management certification program can be applied in real-life business problems. In this series, we show how the PEAT software can be used to evaluate a project's economics, simulate its uncertainties, run sensitivity analysis, and use their analytical properties for making strategic decisions. Pragmatic applications are emphasized in order to demystify the many elements inherent in risk analysis. A black box will remain a black box if no one can understand the concepts despite its power and applicability. It is only when the black box becomes transparent so that analysts can understand, apply, and convince others of its results, value-add, and applicability, that the approach will receive widespread influence. This is done through step-by-step applications of risk analysis as well as presenting multiple cases and discussing real-life applications. This book is targeted at those individuals who have completed the CQRM certification program but can also be used by those well-versed in risk analysis--there is something for everyone. It is also applicable for use as a second-year M.S./M.B.A.-level or introductory Ph.D. textbook.
