Reflection On Inferential Statistics And Decision Making

Attached is the last 6 months of data for one of our websites. Please analyse the data pulling out key trends of performance and actions you would advise the trading team to take to generate more income. Please also consider how you would show the data to key stakeholders to inform them on trade performance.

Present back your findings in detail notes.

***Sample file attached below***

 Create a 2 page Word document after reviewing the videos to include:

1. A brief description of 2 careers, 1 in your major and the the second in the technology field.
2. Describe each career in detail including salary (based in MD, VA, and DC geographical area), education level or certification needed, and duties. 
3. What emerging technology (within the past 5 years) is used in the industry (your chosen career) to improve production or work flow. 
4. What are the ethical issues.
5. Include 4 sources.
6. Submit as a Word (25 points) .

Select any example of a visualization or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualization’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:

1. Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation
2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
4. Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

Due today: 1 page team plan

Topic:  You are starting a new company and want to ensure organizational success through operational efficiency and strategic vision.  The plan for this project is to understand where there is a need in the market to create a new product/ service, understand the components that need to be addressed or factored when managing operational efficiencies (to include resource management), and present the work as though asking for approval to proceed with the project.  

Due today:9 pm est

1. The market, the name of the company, why you feel as though there is a niche or area for you to succeed in the market.
2. Research other companies in the same market and note why they aren’t providing the services you are offering and contrast them to the goods or services your company is going to offer.

Reamining details attached

Each team collectively prepares and one team member (for the entire team) submits one set of POWER POINT SLIDES that contains the following, and a video presentation:

1.      The following documents:

Project Charter:  (see Slide 24, CH03.ppt) Project name, purpose, and key participants are important. You can list for example what each member brings into the table (who has expertise or interest on what?). You can also include other relevant information. Make sure that every member has enough exposure to all phases of software development.

Project Scope Document: (see Slide 28, CH03.ppt) The project description must include functional requirements: list of functions the system will perform for the users. Also, list system capabilities, and other relevant information. The project scope must be proportional with the team-size. It should include non-trivial functions that require use of advanced data structures, algorithms, and/or new technology.

Project Schedule:  Present your schedule in a Gantt Chart with milestones. You need to be realistic. You start your project today, you complete planning and analysis phases by the end of this semester. You continue your project in Spring 2022 in CSCI 440 course. You will complete design and implementation phases in Spring 2022. Please note that we set the date for project completion the first week of May 2022 (if your team plans to take CSCI 440 in Summer 2022, change dates accordingly).

MILESTONES (including but not limited to):
a) Analysis Review
b) Design Review
c) Integration Testing (Start, and Completion)
d) User Manual
e) Project Presentation (Tentatively set for lecture on First Week of May 2022)

2.      Object-oriented UML models for your project’s REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS that includes the following (see CH05 slides 45-56, and CH07): 

a)      Domain Class Diagrams.

b)      Use Case Diagrams

c)      Activity Diagrams.

d)      System Sequence Diagrams.

e)      State Machine Diagrams (if applicable).

3.      Present your entire power point slides in a video of length not exceeding 20 minutes. Allocate more than half of the time on your UML diagrams in your systems analysis phase. Ideally all team members participate in this video presentation. It can be a recorded ZOOM meeting, for example. Any other similar video presentation is fine.

You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

Please see below the discussion in response to the original question asked and respond as a peer using 150 or more words.

Original Question:   As your study in this course draws to a close, it is important to reflect on new levels of understanding, skills, and knowledge that you developed as a result of your efforts throughout this course. It is particularly important to reflect on the course outcomes (what you were intended to learn in this course). 

Peer Response:  

When I enrolled in this course I expected to learn about the different components to a database and how I might need to structure it. We covered the database concepts, design, modeling, normalization, and statements. Each module we were able to build on what we learned. This class taught me that a database is a collection of structured information that is accessed, managed, updated, and controlled with a query language(SQL).

I learned that an Entity Relationship Diagram is to show the relationship of entities stored in a database. There are three concepts to an ER Diagram: entities, attributes, and relationships. This step is before creating your ER model which is a must before implementing your database. We do this to eliminate redundant information and make sure that all needed information is supported. I must admit that this concept seems simple but for me I had a hard breaking everything down to eliminate the repeated information. This is still a slight struggle but with a little more practice I can get it. 

Normalization is a technique used to reduce redundancy and reduce the need for insertion, updates, and deletion. There are 3 forms that we covered in this course. 1NF, 2NF, 3NF and each one will build on top of one another. 1NF should have one value and it needs to be unique. 2NF must be in 1NF and the primary key is not functionally dependent on any other key relations. 3NF must be in 2NF and no transitive functional dependencies. This was the biggest struggle I had in the entire course. I had to find visual examples to really get my understanding around this course material. 

SQL Statements was my favorite part of the whole course. The statements we used were basic and straight forward. Statements had keywords like SELECT, FROM, CREATE TABLE, INSERT INTO. The commands told you exactly what you were doing. I think I enjoyed this section so much because I was able to get the visual satisfaction of my data inputs populating in the tables. I have had experience with SQL before but to only pull information that I was looking for, so to actually write it was fun.

Thank you Dr. Kats, your classes challenge me and your feedback is very helpful. I hope to have you in another course!

 This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.Instructions

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)

• How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

• End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?

(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)

• The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)

• Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)

• How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
• How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.

(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)

Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

In writing a clear and concise memo in response to senior management queries, you are demonstrating your communication skills, technical expertise, and responsiveness to customer/client needs and concerns.  

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

• 1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension. 
• 1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas. 
• 2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position. 
• 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs. 
• 10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.
