- [Model Comparison and Judgment](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/model-comparison-judgment.html): Three models all pass the holdout test. Now which one ships?

- [Neural Network Basics for Marketers](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/neural-network-basics.html): Every marketing platform now sells 'AI-powered' predictions, and many of them are neural networks. Learn what a network actually computes (a stack of tiny logistic regressions), how it learns by walking downhill, how to tell when it has memorized a small customer file and stop it in time, how to test honestly whether it beats a regression you could explain, what permutation importance and partial dependence do and do not tell you, and why no model should be trusted beyond the data it saw. (65 min, 14 sections, 2 mini-tools)
- [One-Sample Estimation & Hypothesis Testing](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/one-sample-estimation-testing.html): Bridge the gap from sample metrics to population truth. Master Central Limit Theorem mechanics, frequentist confidence intervals, one-sample z and t tests, and effect sizes — while diagnosing why Big Data collapses p-values into statistical illusions. (22 min, 10 sections, 2 mini-tools)
- [Prediction Fundamentals](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/prediction-fundamentals.html): You can fit a model to data you already have. That is not the same as predicting data you have never seen — and the difference is where most marketing models quietly fail. Learn the holdout discipline, how to spot data leakage, why complexity stops helping, how regression automates hand-calibration outright, and why a coefficient misleads when a driver of the outcome is left out. (65 min, 14 sections, 3 mini-tools)
- [Pricing Analytics](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/pricing-analytics.html): Master quantitative pricing methods: demand curves, price elasticity, Van Westendorp PSM, Gabor-Granger, conjoint-based WTP, price optimization models, pricing experiments, and behavioral pricing effects. (59 min, 12 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Probability Foundations, Decision Trees & Risk](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/probability-foundations-decision-risk.html): Master the quantitative logic of uncertainty. Learn marginal, joint, and conditional probability, Bayes' Theorem, and Expected Monetary Value — while building the reflexes to spot base-rate fallacies in automated algorithms and generative AI tools. (35 min, 11 sections, 3 mini-tools)
- [Product & Retail Analytics: Measuring What Sells](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/product-retail-analytics.html): A practical guide to the metrics that separate profitable products from shelf-space squatters — from margin mix and SKU velocity to pricing elasticity and promotional lift. Learn to calculate each metric, interpret it in retail context, and avoid the margin-share trap. (50 min, 12 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Qualitative Research Methods](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/qualitative-research.html): Focus groups, depth interviews, ethnography, netnography, online qualitative platforms, qualitative coding and thematic analysis, mixed-method workflows, and quality standards — with GenAI's role in each. (55 min, 10 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Sales Analytics: From Pipeline to Revenue](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/sales-analytics.html): A practical guide to the metrics that drive B2B and professional selling — from pipeline coverage and win rates to lead scoring and forecast accuracy. Learn to calculate each metric, interpret it in sales context, and avoid the activity-outcome trap. (54 min, 12 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Sampling & Data Collection](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/sampling-data-collection.html): Probability vs. non-probability sampling, sample size determination, non-response bias, data collection methods, AI-era sampling challenges, data quality screening, and ethical considerations in sampling. (39 min, 9 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Scaling & Advanced Measurement](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/scaling-advanced-measurement.html):  (50 min, 9 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Secondary Research & Secondary Data](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/secondary-research.html): Internal and external secondary data sources, government and syndicated data providers, digital trace data, evaluating source quality, and using GenAI for secondary research. (40 min, 8 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Simple Linear Regression & Residual Diagnostics](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/simple-linear-regression-foundations.html): Master the foundational predictive engine of business analytics. Learn Ordinary Least Squares derivation, slope and intercept interpretation, R-squared, hypothesis testing, and the core LINE residual diagnostic plots — with real applications in omnichannel ad saturation. (26 min, 10 sections, 2 mini-tools)
- [Statistical Inference for Marketing](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/statistical-inference.html): Learn how to draw reliable conclusions about entire customer bases from the imperfect slice of data you actually have. Master sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and the critical-thinking framework that separates rigorous analysis from statistical theater. (58 min, 14 sections, 4 mini-tools)
- [Survey Design & Measurement](https://www.mktpraxis.com/textbook/syllabi/survey-design-measurement.html): Question types, Likert and semantic differential scales, reliability (Cronbach's α), validity, common question biases, questionnaire structure, and how GenAI is reshaping survey design in 2026.
