Statistical models for prediction of project duration
Oberta, Dušan ; Žák, Libor (oponent) ; Hübnerová, Zuzana (vedoucí práce)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce statistical models suitable for data analysis and apply them on real data related to time duration of projects based on characteristics of given projects. In the first chapter, linear regression models based on the least squares method are studied, including their properties and prediction intervals. The next chapter deals with the problematics of generalized linear models, which are based on the maximum likelihood estimation principle. Also basic properties of generalized linear models and asymptotic confidence intervals for expected values are described. In the next chapter, regression trees are introduced, with two methods of growing the trees, namely least squares and maximum likelihood estimation. Also basic principles of pruning the trees and confidence intervals for expected values were described. Derivation of maximum likelihood estimation for regression trees and confidence intervals are to a great extent own work of the author. The last described models are random forests, including their basic properties and confidence intervals for expected values. Throughout these chapters, methods for assessing model's quality, selection of optimal submodel and finding optimal values for tuning parameters were also described. At the end, the studied models and algorithms are implemented in Python and applied on real data.
