C3 assists businesses and organizations to do forecasting and predictive analysis using existing data. C3 has done sales forecasting for major consumer products companies, created housing sales models for large realtors, and performed many other modeling and forecasting activities for companies and organizations.

C3 also performs generalized data analysis for organizations that want to identify important patterns or factors in their data.

We are experienced with the most popular statistical packages, including SAS, SPSS and Minitab, as well as more specialized packages such as LIMDEP, EViews and others. We can work with large cross-sectional and panel data samples, as well as shorter time series samples. Our philosophy is that users of models should have a basic understanding of the primary drivers of a model as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Thus, we thoroughly document the development process and we provide training to end-users.

What modeling and forecasting services does C3 provide?

Today's business firms and academic institutions frequently have access to valuable data describing their customer base, student population or test performance. Turning data into valuable information requires an understanding of statistical modeling techniques. C3 has extensive expertise in modeling data and using models to weight factors and forecast future data.
