Significance of the study

Data and Methodology

The methodology should be based on coverage of prediction and classification topics in this course. For example, students can choose OLS regression, logistic regression, a decision tree model, or any other method covered in class that is consistent with variables included in the analysis. This section will include a brief description of the variables, the method used and its mathematical assumptions, comparison of related methods, potential pitfalls or weaknesses of the method, and analytical steps required to implement it.

Length: 1000 words

Sample description

Include source information, variables, and observations.

Description of variables

Dependent variable

Independent variables

Examples of methods

Data preprocessing: Data cleaning, missing value replacement, computing new variables, recoding variables, handling outliers etc.

Descriptive statistics

Charts

Correlation analysis

T tests

ANOVA

Simple regression

Multiple regression

Logistic regression

Association analysis

Cluster analysis

Analysis and Results

This section will include a detailed description of all preprocessing procedures performed (such as data cleaning, missing value handling, variable transformations etc.) and key findings from data analysis. A thoughtful use of well-constructed graphs and well-structured tables is highly encouraged. Students will report results from their exploratory and visual analysis of the data, followed by a description and interpretation of results from the predictive model.

Length: 1500 words

Discussion

This section will provide key conclusions based on findings reported in the Results section, and practical importance and implications of those findings. Any shortcomings or limitations of source data, methodology or other aspects of the study should be identified.
