Big Data Analysis-DNP865

OVERVIEW

Big data is the large and complex information resulting from the investigation and care delivery in these multifactorial health issues. This data exists in different states of structure, from well-defined structured data sets to unstructured data and images. Data mining tools are used to gather the data for analysis, ultimately leading to transforming new information into action in the clinical setting.  CITI Training will be completed.

Assignment Description:

Big Data Analysis

Write a 2000 word analysis using data from a public health issue to create graphs and descriptions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each bullet point. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

This assignment and the assignment in Module 6 will work together to prepare for the Module 8 Signature Assignment. In the Module 4 assignment, you will collect and analyze data in preparation for its presentation. In the Module 6 assignment, you will refine your data presentation and its supporting information for its use in the Module 8 Signature Assignment.

Choose a public health issue that contains public data. Examples include the COVID-19 pandemic, opioid use, influenza, tobacco use, and nutrition. Visit the US government data site found in Additional Resources and search for data available on your chosen topic. You are looking for information that is available in a CSV or XLS file format. You may download more than one file of data. When saving the file, save it as an Excel workbook (.xlx or .xlxs).

· Create (3) three different types of graphic representations of data associated with your public health topic.

·  For example, you may decide to explore data related to the Covid-19 pandemic and create a pie chart of Covid-19 vaccines by zip code,

· a bar graph of Covid-19 hospitalizations over the last 18 months,

· and a scatter plot chart of Covid-19 mortality by age.

Use the tutorials provided in the additional course materials to support your use of Excel to analyze the data and create these three graphic representations of the data.

In a Word document, display each graph and write a paragraph for each of the three (3), explaining what the graph represents and why that graph type was chosen to display the data.
