Hands-on approach in Econometrics: applied model building for the survey, time series, and panel data supplementing Stata, SPSS, Minitab.
Following are elaborations on how we approach and formulate our teaching preferences
Conceptualization and the emphasis on theory:
Algebraic and visual assumptions of the ‘Ordinary Least Squares’, using extensive use of graphs, and how the assumptions of the ‘Ordinary least squares’ ensure the best, linear and unbiased estimators.
Appraisal and the impact assessment: discussion on implications upon the desired properties of estimators, if assumptions of the ‘Ordinary least squares’ are violated.
Relevance and applicability:
Illustrating the applicability of topics and methods in Econometrics.
Use of visual tools and algebraic manipulations:
Visual tools in the form of graphs are primarily being used to consolidate the foundation of structuring equations and expressions.
Empiricism and emphasis on the applied model building:
From the initial specification of econometric models to the consolidation of econometric models requires critical assessment and the critical judgment about significance and insignificance of potential regressors, and how to customize methodological choices, if assumptions of OLS are violated. For refinement of econometric models, early judgments are shared with students, feedback is invited, and it is demonstrated on how to experiment scientific guess, for model consolidation.
Domains of application:
Econometric tools may effectively be applied in domains of Business administration, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Media studies, Education, and Medical Sciences. Different applications of econometrics are termed ‘Sociometrics’ and ‘Psychometrics’.
Supplementing digitalization resources:
Sessions are supplemented by the use of digitized learning tools such as databases and packages namely Stata, Minitab, and SPSS. To further facilitate digitized learning in online tutoring, graphical/ digital tablets, the Microsoft Whiteboard, and screen sharing options are used, so that Student(s) get a similar feel of a live classroom.
Emphasis on model evaluation and interpreting results:
While evaluating existing literature and in order to construct econometric models indigenously, it is imperative to assess theoretical and empirical relevance and goodness of results, and how to plan for further improvement in the estimated model.

Reviews and recommendations
Kari
He has excellent command over applied econometric modeling, and a commendable ability to evaluate and engage with technical matters such as model interpretation and testing the fitted model for specification biases. A dedicated professional!
Smith
Professionally sound, technically competent, and has good pedagogic abilities! He helped me a lot with the theory of econometrics and topics in financial econometrics. A resourceful person!
Sasha
What a coherent and effective platform providing customized learning and knowledge for students all across, through such an extensive array of technical and conceptual areas of study! The subjects offered are highly useful for college/university students.
I got Profess services for my post-graduate research thesis, and the way I was guided and taught on both basic and advanced levels such as Applied Econometrics, Data Analysis tools, Questionnaire design, Research Methodology, and Inferential Statistics is what has built my trust in their services and faculty.
Using the same learning skills I have been able to present research papers at several International Conferences. Must say this forum is ideal for social sciences and research students…
Thanks to Profess for your thorough, easy-to-access, and exceptional services!
Michael
While preparing for my master’s dissertation, I was looking for someone who can help me with ARIMA and SARIMA modeling. He has excellent command and strong foresight in furnishing research designs, in assessing the academic worth of methodological choices, and how to advance a rather naive research notion into a well-structured hypothesis, and the model specification.
Mark
To anyone struggling with Applied Econometrics, I would highly recommend seeking guidance from ‘Profess’ faculty, as he explains things clearly and prepared the lessons carefully.
Kyla
The inspirational and supportive tutor goes the extra mile using examples and illustrations to ensure I understood difficult and complex topics. Articulate personality and precision in interpersonal communication. I am glad to have learned from him.
Gard
I am more than happy with the teaching. The ‘Profess’ faculty helped me a great deal with Research and Econometrics. Efficient and very easy to communicate with, which reflects upon his skills as a teacher. Highly recommended for research and quantitative modeling.
Dr. Haider
According to my information, he was one of the early teachers who introduced the use of statistical and mathematical software in academia, in the 90’s. I feel proud to say, I have learned Econometrics from him.
As a teacher and researcher, I found him very hardworking, efficient, diligent, resourceful, and full of energy. He has earned his respect among his teachers, peers, colleagues, students, friends, and family due to his cooperative behavior, thought-provoking arguments, and resilience to embrace tough situations, good judgment, and decision making. He always digs deep into the concepts and makes them comprehensible to his students. He is a good listener and an extraordinary speaker. He has researched and supervised in very diverse topics of Economics and Business which shows his untiring work and commitment to his students and institution. His analytical and quantitative skills are at par excellent. He has the great ability to motivate and inspire students and fellow researchers. His ability to lead a team is exceptional. His teammates and students consider him a tough work master but still gravitate around him. He has been very focused and meticulous about the subject matter. He takes his objectives very seriously and enjoys his work. I very strongly recommend him, assuring that he will prove to be a great addition and asset.
