Data Analytics

Conduct your research/analysis on data you have collected. You may not simply pull down complete datasets from the Internet and base your paper on that data in isolation. You MAY combine the data you collect/create with other sources of data such as Census data, US Postal data, county/state/federal tax or spending data, etc. however you must be able to make the case that combining your data with broadly available data actually adds value to your project. The final paper must follow the APA 6th edition standards and will be graded based on the attached rubric. Requirements: Define and collect the data yourself • could be physical collection via raspberry pi, sensor, activity, etc. • could be visually observed data over time • could be data scrapped from website (accident or traffic data from [login to view URL] for example) • could be textual data from an online collection like [login to view URL] or [login to view URL] . • could be musical lyrics or musical notes or sound files collected by microphone over a period of time in a store, or the woods, or by a stream. must keep a log of the work, which must be turned in .This should consist of notes that show your thoughts about the project, diagrams or other design work, efforts at loading/analyzing data, and the creation of the final paper and poster board. Don’t just collect and graph the data, make theories or hypotheses, use the data to describe or explain something, predict something using the data. Paper must include description of the problem/research space, theories or hypotheses, data collection/definition steps/process, analysis steps conducted results/conclusions.
