Dear Participants,

“Today many big organizations are sitting on large chunks of data, not knowing what to do with it. They invite consultants & business analysts to have a look at data and come up with insights that could help the organization run their business better. There is no clear set of instructions in such open-ended problems and it is expected of the consultant to do a lot of exploration first and formulate the problems themselves. These DVT projects fall into the bucket of such open-ended problems and a specific problem statement has not been given intentionally. It is expected of students to explore the data and come up with good insights. There is no right and wrong answer here. There should a clear logical story which should come out of their submission.”

Please find below DVT Project instructions:

Note: Please upload the project on Tableau public and include the URL in a word doc and upload it.

• Any assignment found copied/ plagiarized with another person will not be graded and marked as zero.
• Please ensure timely submission as a post-deadline assignment will not be accepted.

Please use the following  datasets- (Car Claim Insurance.xlsx)

Business Context 

We are all aware that accidents are prone everywhere due to negligent driving or climatic conditions. An insurance company always needs to be prepared to estimate the number of accidents and the claims that they can receive at a given point time. Also understanding the pattern of claims would help the companies to frame different types of policies for the users providing better benefits and at the same time increasing the premium to the company.

Problem Statement:

Consider that you are a Lead Data Analyst at an Insurance Claims company that has provided you with the Car Insurance Claims dataset. You have been given a task to explore the data, create different plots and interpret useful insights/findings. Your end goal here will be to create a storyboard that you have to present to the Senior Management and the story has to have an end objective and should follow a logical flow to display that you are heading towards achieving the end objective. This will help the Senior Management in taking some decisive actions on the current claims system in place. This storyboard will be an open-ended story for you to explore various different features in the data and try to showcase different plots. Make sure to have minimum clutter in the plots, follow a consistent color scheme across all the plots, and use proper colors to highlight a specific insight. Moreover, your plots on all the dashboards should be interactive and responsive. There should be 1 dashboard that should cover the summary of the story as well as your recommendations.

Important Note: Please reflect on all that you have learned while working on this project. This step is critical in cementing all your concepts and closing the loop. Please write down your thoughts here.

Regards,

Program Office

Logical flow to the story represented in the storyboard. 5 Points

1 dashboard which will cover the summary and the recommendations from the insights to be added to the end of the storyboard

This dashboard will be an extra dashboard apart from the mandatory 5 dashboards mentioned in the 5th part of the rubric. At least 5 summary/recommendation points should be mentioned in this dashboard(at least 1 recommendation/summary point from each dashboard you created). 1 conclusion point of the story. This dashboard has to be a part of the storyboard created and not to be submitted separately. Note: This will not be evaluated if submitted as a separate dashboard/storyboard. 

Instructions

Comparison of SORT algorithms

The objective of this Assignment is to compare the performance of some standard SORT algorithms.

You should look at MergeSort, QuickSort, (see attached code) and Selection Sort (from Week 2); you can also look at an additional Sort mechanism that isn’t covered in class or that isn’t covered in the book for extra credit. OR you can find an implmentation of Radix Sort.

You will have to find the right implementation in Java so that you can make your comparisons for the 4th algorithm (if you choose to go for the extra credit).

Things you will be comparing are the raw running time (measured with Java time functionality) and the time complexity (iteration count) in terms of a key operation for the algorithms (ex: as we discussed in class for Selection Sort comparisons are often a good way of measuring the time complexity of sort algorithms), for this purpose you’ll have to use meaningful count variables.

Refer to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html for time methods. 

Use:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis()

or

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#nanoTime()

as you see fit.

Testing:

When comparing algorithms you want to make sure that you use a wide variety of test cases. In your case, you should have at least 4 different example sets on which to run your tests, each test case should have at least 20 numbers.

Report:

If you chose a 4th algorithm for extra credit, discuss which is the 4th algorithm and why you chose that.

You must have MergeSort, QuickSort, and Selection Sort.

Discuss your plan for testing. Explain the 4 test cases that you chose and explain briefly why you chose those test cases. Test cases must have at least 50 integers or more.

Summarize your results for both measured running time and time complexity.

Describe your conclusions including insights, and surprises if any. How does the measured time complexity compare with the expected O cost?

Grading:
1. Test plan and code implementation: 50 points
2. Report and results: 40 points

3. What is the sorting mechanism that Arrays.sort() uses? How does that compare with the others? 10 points

4. Extra credit: up to 20 points

MAKE SURE TO USE TEAMS for discussion and to clear doubts.

You can either use the class attached or you can copy and paste into separate classes.
