Before You Begin

1. Create a new repository for this project called Web-Design-Challenge. Do not add this homework to an existing repository.
2. Clone the new repository to your computer.
3. Inside your local git repository, create a directory for the web challenge. Use a folder name to correspond to the challenge: WebVisualizations.
4. Add your html files to this folder as well as your assets, Resources and visualizations folders.
5. Push the above changes to GitHub or GitLab.
6. Deploy to GitHub pages. 

Latitude – Latitude Analysis Dashboard with Attitude

For this homework we’ll be creating a visualization dashboard website using visualizations we’ve created in a past assignment. Specifically, we’ll be plotting weather data.

In building this dashboard, we’ll create individual pages for each plot and a means by which we can navigate between them. These pages will contain the visualizations and their corresponding explanations. We’ll also have a landing page, a page where we can see a comparison of all of the plots, and another page where we can view the data used to build them.

Website Requirements

For reference, see the “Screenshots” section below.

The website must consist of 7 pages total, including:

• A landing page containing:
  • An explanation of the project.
  • Links to each visualizations page. There should be a sidebar containing preview images of each plot, and clicking an image should take the user to that visualization.
• Four visualization pages, each with:
  • A descriptive title and heading tag.
  • The plot/visualization itself for the selected comparison.
  • A paragraph describing the plot and its significance.
• A “Comparisons” page that:
  • Contains all of the visualizations on the same page so we can easily visually compare them.
  • Uses a Bootstrap grid for the visualizations.
    • The grid must be two visualizations across on screens medium and larger, and 1 across on extra-small and small screens.
• A “Data” page that:
  • Displays a responsive table containing the data used in the visualizations.
    • The table must be a bootstrap table component. Hint
    • The data must come from exporting the .csv file as HTML, or converting it to HTML. Try using a tool you already know, pandas. Pandas has a nifty method approprately called to_html that allows you to generate a HTML table from a pandas dataframe. See the documentation here

The website must, at the top of every page, have a navigation menu that:

• Has the name of the site on the left of the nav which allows users to return to the landing page from any page.
• Contains a dropdown menu on the right of the navbar named “Plots” that provides a link to each individual visualization page.
• Provides two more text links on the right: “Comparisons,” which links to the comparisons page, and “Data,” which links to the data page.
• Is responsive (using media queries). The nav must have similar behavior as the screenshots “Navigation Menu” section (notice the background color change).

Finally, the website must be deployed to GitHub pages.

When finished, submit to BootcampSpot the links to 1) the deployed app and 2) the GitHub repository.

Considerations

• You may use the weather data or choose another dataset. Alternatively, you may use the included cities dataset and pull the images from the assets folder.
• You must use Bootstrap. This includes using the Bootstrap navbar component for the header on every page, the bootstrap table component for the data page, and the Bootstrap grid for responsiveness on the comparison page.
• You must deploy your website to GitHub pages, with the website working on a live, publicly accessible URL as a result.
• Be sure to use a CSS media query for the navigation menu.
• Be sure your website works at all window widths/sizes.
• Feel free to take some liberty in the visual aspects, but keep the core functionality the same.
• Use a different dataset! The requirements above still hold, but make it your own.
• Use a Bootstrap theme to customize your website. You may use a tool like Bootswatch. Make it look snazzy, give it some attitude. If using this, be sure you also meet all of the requirements listed above.
• Add extra visualizations! The more comparisons the better, right?
• Use meaningful glyphicons next to links in the header.
• Have visualization navigation on every visualizations page with an active state. See the screenshots below.

Screenshots

This section contains screenshots of each page that must be built, at varying screen widths. These are a guide; you can meet the requirements without having the pages look exactly like the below images.

This project implements a document store system. It can be written in any language, but I’ve been told that python works best because of the use of dictionaries. I need it back by midnight tomorrow which is 0:00 CST December 6th. All information should be given in the pdf. Attached are also the txt files that will be used, data.txt, queries copy.txt, and just a solution txt you can view to see the correct answer.

Final Instructions

Your company ABC Consulting Company is asked to provide a proposal for the upcoming company expansion. You will need to research and provide quotes for new computers, cabling, network security and type of network topology. A Network proposal has to be developed for a manufacturing company that plans to move to a larger facility.

They are currently in a 1500 square foot building. Below is the current office setup.

• Reception – 1 computer and printer

• CEO Office – 1 computer and printer

• Accounting Office – 5 computers and 5 printers

• Business Office – 3 computers and 3 printers

• Human Resources – 2 printers and 2 printers

• Sales Office – 10 computers and 10 printers

They are moving to a 3500 square foot building with 3 floors and each floor will have switches and routers to accommodate that floor. Below are the proposed additions:

CEO Secretary – 1 computer and printer (CEO’s office area)

• Chief Financial Officer – 1 computer and printer (Accounting Department)

• Secretary – Chief Financial Officer – 1 computer and printer (Accounting Department)

• Information Technology – 2 computers and 2 printers

• Breakroom – 2 computers

• Human Resources – 6 computers and 2 network printers

• Sales – 6 computers and 2 network printers

• Wireless network for employees and guests

• Each department will have at least 2 empty offices for additional employees.

Module Assignment

Module 4

QMB-6304 Analytical Methods for Business

Write a simple R script to execute the following:

Preprocessing

1. Load into R the data included in “Assignment 4 Data.xlsx”.  This data set shows age (years), weight (pounds), and height (inches) for 251 adults.  This will be your master data set.
2. Create a new variable in the master data set which will be each individual’s body mass index.  The calculation should be done as:

BMI=(weight* .45)(height* .025)2

1. Using the method presented in class and applying the numerical portion of your U number as a random number seed, take a random sample of 45 cases from the master data set. This will be your primary data set.

Analysis

1. Use R to conduct a simple linear regression on the data with weight as the independent variable and bmi as the dependent variable.  As a part of this be sure to:
   1. Report the beta coefficients and associated p values and confidence intervals from your model.
   2. Give a written interpretation of your beta coefficients in terms of the actual case at hand.
   3. Assess your model’s conformance with the LINE assumptions of regression.
   4. Give a prediction using your model for an individual weighing 185 pounds. Include 95% confidence and prediction intervals and written interpretations of both intervals.
2. A 10-year-old boy has been presented to you who weighs 72 pounds.  Give two reasons for why it would be wrong to use your model to predict the boy’s BMI.

Your deliverable will be a single MS-Word file showing 1) the R script which executes the above instructions and 2) the results of those instructions.  The first line of your script file should be a “#” comment line showing your name as it appears in Canvas.  Results should be presented in the order in which they are listed here.  Deliverable due time will be announced in class and on Canvas.  This is an individual assignment to be completed and submitted by the time stated on Canvas.  No collaboration of any sort is allowed on this assignment.  Please remember the prohibition on using screen shots in your deliverable.
