Focus on the movement of traditional IT staff

Discussion: This week we focus on the movement of traditional IT staff.  To facilitate cultural assimilation, IT and non-IT must become more integrated.  What are some strategies to implement to allow this type of interaction to occur?

Note: The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. I am looking for active engagement in the discussion.  Please engage early and often.

Your response should be 250-300 words.  Respond to two postings provided by your classmates.

Datamining essay and discussion

Essay: Minimum 600 words

The false discovery rate (FDR) provides an error metric to measure the rate of false positives/false discoveries. This is pertinent data as we process the data set. Is there a point when you would not correct this?

In addition, please discuss the relationship between Type I and II errors. Is this relevant to the analysis?

Discussion : Minimum 300 words

In the academic workplace, there has been the push for publications in peer reviewed journals. This and the research itself heightens the University’s exposure to other universities, potential students, and others. This culture may create a systemic bias against the null hypothesis and the subsequent researchers may find themselves in a circumstance where there is a difficulty with showing the hypotheses are false.

Would the proportion of these instances increase with a decrease in sample size?

Programming Assignment #5: Graph Solution to the Water Container Problem

What is the assignment?

What to hand in?

  • One (and only one) *.py file should be handed in. All your checks, unit tests should be inside of this file.
  • The name of the function in your program should be findWaterContainerPath, and it should except three integer arguments. 
  • Note that your program should be able to run at the console/terminal (e.g. $ python your_file.py). If it does not, then the execution portion of the assignment will be 0. 

What needs to be done?

  • Ultimately, all that needs to be done is to have a function, named findWaterContainerPath, return a list of states that represents a solution to the water container problem. 
  • Note that each state can be thought of a vertex on a graph, and the transitions between the states can be thought of as the edges. 
  • To successfully implement the function you will need to figure out what all of the possible state transitions (i.e. edges). You’ll then perform a BFS across all of these states; adding a state to your final solution path when it is used (and being sure to not add, or to remove, states that are not on the solution path).

Be careful… 

  • As with all assignments, do not copy code from the internet, and do not share/copy code directly from others. There are lots of poor implementations of this problem online, so even if you look at some to better understand the problem, be sure that you implement your own so that you can be confident that you understand what each step is doing. 
  • Remember, copying/sharing code is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. If you are found to have been doing this, then the grade for this assignment may be a zero, and a report with the Dean of Students may be filed. 

Getting Started

  • Use the following code to get started if you like. If, however, you decide not to, be sure that you still name your function “findWaterContainerPath”, and that it accepts the three given arguments. 
import math
import unittest

def findWaterContainerPath(a, b, c):
    """ DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS FUNCTION """
    starting_state = (0, 0)
    final_path = list()
    final_path.append(starting_state)

    """ THIS IS WHERE THE REAL WORK FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE """

    return final_path

""" ADD ANY OTHER (HELPER) FUNCTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED HERE """


class TestWaterContainerGraphSearch(unittest.TestCase):

    def testFindWaterContainerPath(self):
        """ INSERT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THIS TEST IS CHECKING """
        """ IMPLEMENT YOUR FIRST TEST HERE """
        pass

    """ ADD MORE TESTS TO CHECK YOUR FUNCTIONS WORKS FOR OTHER VALUES """


def main():
    capacity_a = input("Enter the capacity of container A: ")
    capacity_b = input("Enter the capacity of container B: ")
    goal_amount = input("Enter the goal quantity: ")

    # ADD SOME TYPE/VALUE CHECKING FOR THE INPUTS (OR INSIDE YOUR FUNCTION)

    if int(goal_amount) % math.gcd(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b)) == 0:
        path = findWaterContainerPath(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b), int(goal_amount))
    else:
        print("No solution for containers with these sizes and with this final goal amount")

    print(path)


# unittest_main() - run all of TestWaterContainerGraphSearch's methods (i.e. test cases)
def unittest_main():
    unittest.main()

# evaluates to true if run as standalone program
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
    unittest_main()

Good luck!

short answer

 

  • An array is a method used for storing information on multiple devices. Give an example of when you would use an array instead of a collection of variables. Give an example of when you would use a collection of variables instead of an array.
  • Flesh out your thoughts and interact with your classmates. Post your initial response by Wednesday each week and then return on a couple of other days to see what’s going on with the discussions. The more you interact, the more you learn from your peers, and the more you share with them about what you know. You will also be showing your instructor what you have picked up.

Project Draft

 Please submit a draft of your final project for review. Final submissions are due during week 15 (from the week 15 content folder)

Final Project Prompt: 

The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (1-2 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 5-8 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 7-10 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 5-8 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles from the UC library to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
