Please note the webinar is at 10 AM CT/ 11 AM ET.

Join the IECA as we welcome back Paul Swoap, who will provide a clear, accessible introduction to modeling and simulating time‑based data. It begins by developing foundational concepts of randomness and the ways in which values change over time, then demonstrates how these principles lead to widely used models for prices, demand, and other uncertain variables. Participants will see how trends, fluctuations, and abrupt shifts can be represented within these models, and how realistic behavior can be achieved using straightforward techniques.

Learning Objective: Participants will gain an understanding of time series models with a focus on practical examples rather than advanced mathematics, and it requires no prior background in statistics or modeling.
