Assignment 4: Final Project

During this course, you will analyze data, develop your own hypothesis, test it, and write a structured APA report using the dataset provided below. The project will be based on conducting an independent analysis of an adequately set-up database.

Here's what you will do each week to accomplish your goals:

Week 1: You will derive analytical results that describe the characteristics of the data-discrete and continuous.

Week 2: You will derive analytical results based on continuous variables and compute the mean, median, variance, standard deviation, and range.

Week 3: You will derive analytical results based on dichotomous variables.

Week 4: You will derive analytical results and formulate three different hypotheses to test.

Week 5: You will derive analytical findings based on a single continuous variable.

Week 6: You will provide a summary of the empirical analyses you conducted during the course of the past five weeks in terms of the specific insights you gained.

Your final project entails systematic extraction of decision-aiding insights out of a dataset (SampleDataSet.xlsx) provided to you in the Doc Sharing area. This project will provide you with hands-on experience in conducting and interpreting different types of function-wise statistical analysis. The focus of your analysis will be on marketing strategies and analysis-related topics. At times, you will be expected to conduct additional research on topics that are not adequately covered in your text, for example, data due diligence.

The first step in any data analytical undertaking is to conduct basic data due diligence, the focus of which is on assessing the scope and limitations of your data. This is an important step as virtually all business data contains some degree of imperfection, such as missing values, miscoded variables, or nonsensical values (such as a person being five hundred years old). Beyond looking for flaws in data, data due diligence also entails describing the basic characteristics of data, such as the number of variables, number of cases, ranges of values of individual variables, variable types, etc.

This week, as the first step in your data analytical project, you will put together a step-by-step outline of the data due diligence process that you would follow and provide a rationale for each step in your process.

Investigate How a Company Uses Data in Marketing

Select a company (maybe your employer) and assess how it uses data in marketing its products or services. (If it is not your employer, find a sizable local company or search the Internet for a company and contact the marketing department.) Specifically, address the following considerations:

• What data does the company capture and have available?
• What additional data does the company acquire from outside data vendors and why?
• What specific insights or information do companies hope to extract from the available data?
• How does the analysis of the data translate into decisions?

Week 3 question 4 Type I vs. Type II error

You are a business analyst employed by a large database management and consulting organization. Your job entails analysis of the available data that tends to vary considerably across clients in terms of volume and quality, with the goal of previously unknown insights or validating currently-held beliefs. One of your concerns is the validity and reliability of your conclusions; hence you are always careful about Type I and Type II errors.

Discuss the differences between Type I and Type II errors in the context of business decision making. Explain how each of the two types of errors can impact both, the validity as well as the reliability of conclusions? As a business analyst, what would you do to minimize the chances of either Type I or Type II errors adversely impacting your conclusions?

Week4 question 6 Statistical vs. Practical Significance

In applied business analysis, there is a tendency to distinguish between statistical and practical significance. Consequently, the larger the sample size, the more sensitive the statistical significance test. As the sample size increases, even smaller differences become statistically significant. As a result, a business analyst might conclude that a particular result might be statistically but not practically significant.

Do you believe it is appropriate for business analysts to divide statistically significant results (such as coefficients in a regression model) into practically significant and not practically significant results (which should be, in effect, disregarded)? Why or why not?

• 1. ` Week 2 Due sept. 20 Question 1 You are a risk manager in a manufacturing company and one of your key responsibilities is securing of property insurance coverage to provide protection against damage caused by "acts of God," such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc. You begin the process with due diligence, which is focused on estimating the chances of a single "act of God" occurring in the year, as well as chances of two or more "acts of God" occurring in the year (also in the course of the subsequent year). Consider the different approaches to assigning probabilities to "acts of God." Which of the approaches will you be most inclined to choose and why? Which of those approaches will you be least inclined to choose and why?

Justify your answer with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two peers.

2. Week 2 Due sept 20 Question 2 You are a marketing manager for a company that makes ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. Your company recently initiated a loyalty program for consumers, which resulted in a large purchaser database. The brand managers are eager to mine the available data, which they can use to design more effective promotional programs. Your first step is to conduct an exploratory baseline analysis, the goal of which is to describe the buyer base and estimate basic statistical descriptors of the said buyer base. You are particularly interested in the size of individual purchases, as well as the frequency of repurchases. Describe the individual statistics you would compute and discuss what would you learn from each statistic that would be of value in designing effective promotions.

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers.

3 week 3 Due sept 27 Question 3 You are a manager working for an insurance company. Your job entails processing individual claims filed by policyholders. In general, few claims are expensive. Each quarter, you compile a report summarizing key claim statistics, such as the number of claims submitted, the average cost per claim, and the total cost of submitted claims. In the last quarter's report, you notice a large difference between the mean and the median claim cost, the mean cost being much higher than the median cost. What do you attribute this difference to? Do you think the claims data is normally distributed? If so, why? If not, what distribution might best describe the data and why? Given the large difference between the two measures of central tendency, which of the two would you rely on in describing the average claim cost and why?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two peers.

4. Week 3 Due sept 27 question4 You are a manager working for an insurance company. Your job entails processing individual claims filed by policyholders. In general, most claims are relatively minor, costwise, but a few are quite expensive. Each quarter, you compile a report summarizing key claims statistics that includes the number of claims submitted, the mean cost per claim, the median cost per claim, the proportion of claims being litigated, the number of emergency procedures, the proportion of men versus women, and the average age of claimants. Your measures are computed separately for the southern and northern regions, and you are interested in determining whether or not there are statistically significant differences between the two regions on each of the aforementioned measures. For which comparisons would you use the t-test and why? For which would you use the chi-squared test and why?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers.

5. Week 4 Due oct 4 Question 5 One of the often-repeated mantras is "Correlation is not causation." What does this mean, and what is the significance of the expression for business analytics?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two peers.

6 Week 4 Due oct 4 Question 6 Regression is one of the most widely used statistical techniques. In business, it is often used within the realm of what is known as predictive analytics-estimating the use of statistical techniques to estimate the likelihood or magnitude of future outcomes of interest. However, regression is also an explanatory tool because the regression model explains the variability in dependent variables with the help of one or more independent variables.

From the marketing management perspective, discuss regression as an explanatory and a predictive tool. What are the major differences between an explanatory and a predictive tool? In terms of the goodness of fit, what is the most important indicator of regression as an explanatory tool and as a predictive tool?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers.

You are a workers' compensation claims analyst working for a large manufacturing organization (worker's compensation is a worker injury protection; it pays medical and other expenses for workers who were injured on the job). A key part of your responsibilities is to "reserve" a certain amount of funds for each workers' compensation claim you process, which is necessary for making sure that each injury claim has adequate funds to pay its costs. This requires you to forecast, or estimate the expected future cost of each claim, which is both time-consuming and difficult, as there are multiple factors (such as the nature of injury, worker's age, the nature of accident, etc.) that determine the ultimate cost of individual claims. Having a lot of historical data (past claims), you decide to use regression analysis to help you forecast the expected cost of the individual workers' compensation claims.

Discuss how you would use regression to help you with your task-specifically, explain how you would go about evaluating the goodness-of-fit and the predictive efficacy of your model.

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two peers.

8. Due oct 11 Week 5 Question 8 In general, short-term forecasts are more accurate than long-term forecasts, as are forecasts where cyclical or seasonal factors are fairly well defined and repeatable. Describe the factors that influence the reliability of time-series forecasts. Under what circumstances would a time-series model offer a fairly reliable forecast?

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers.

9. Due oct 18 week 6 Question 9 As a marketing manager for a manufacturer of nonperishable products sold in grocery stores, you need to make various decisions. Identify three such decisions. Discuss how historical sales data, as well as promotional response data, can aid you in making these decisions.

Justify your answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings and views of at least two peers.

In the past several weeks, you have been introduced to a range of statistical data analysis tools. Consider what you have learned in the context of progression of data, information, and knowledge.
