Respond to Regression Discussion (Michael)

Regression analysis can estimate the magnitude of the impact of a change in one variable or another (Holmes et al., 2017). If regression analysis were to be completed on BMI, an independent variable associated with that would be height and weight. The size and weight are how the BMI is calculated. Usually, as we get older, the amount of body fat increases. This could be because we typically become less active as we age. Additionally, females usually have a higher percentage of body fat than males. Other independent variables included in the analysis would be sex, age, diet, body type, and disease processes. A statistic that will show the value of BMI regression would be physical activity. Typically, the more physical activity a person gets, the lower their BMI.

The article that I found interesting that uses regression analysis to study a medical concern discussed the relationship between changes in dietary cholesterol intake and alterations in lipoprotein-cholesterol markers for cardiovascular disease risk and provided a reference for clinicians on how changes in dietary cholesterol intake affect circulating cholesterol concentrations, after accounting for intakes of fatty acids (Vincent et al. 2019). The independent variables discussed in the article were trans fatty acid intake, saturated fatty acid intake, and cholesterol intake. The dependent variable is LDL-cholesterol concentration. I would use this study to highlight the difference between correlations and causation by accepting the conclusion that dietary cholesterol change was positively associated with the change in LDL-cholesterol concentration (Vincent et el. 2019).

Business Analytics -Data Analysis

 Scenario:

A citys administration isnt driven by the goal of maximizing revenues or profits but instead looks at improving the quality of life of its residents. Many American cities are confronted with high traffic and congestion. Finding parking spaces, whether in the street or a parking lot, can be time consuming and contribute to congestion. Some cities have rolled out data-driven parking space management to reduce congestion and make traffic more fluid. 

Youre a data analyst working for a mid-size city that has anticipated significant increments in population and car traffic. The city is evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in infrastructure to count and report the number of parking spaces available at the different parking lots downtown. This data would be collected and processed in real-time, feeding an app that motorists can access to find parking space availability in different parking lots throughout the city. 

Part 1 Data Manipulation:

Download the Parking Lot Use data set. The data set has the following columns:

  • LotCode: a unique code that identifies the parking lot
  • LotCapacity: a number with the respective parking lot capacity
  • LotOccupancy: a number with the current number of cars in the      parking lot
  • TimeStamp: a day/time combination indicating the moment when      occupancy was measured
  • Day: the day of the week corresponding to the TimeStamp

Insert a new column, OccupancyRate, recording occupancy rate as a percentage with 1 decimal. For instance, if the current LotOccupancy is 61 and LotCapacity is 577, then the OccupancyRate would be reported as 10.6 (or 10.6%).

Using the OccupancyRate and Day columns, construct box plots for each day of the week. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Is the median occupancy rate approximately the same throughout the week? If not, which days have lower median occupancy rates? Which days have higher median occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?

Using the OccupancyRate and LotCode columns, construct box plots for each parking lot. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Do all parking lots experience approximately equal occupancy rates? Are some parking lots more frequented than others? Is this what you expected?

Select any 2 parking lots. For each of them, prepare a scatter plot showing occupancy rate against TimeStamp for the week 11/20/2016 11/26/2016. Are occupancy rates time dependent? If so, which times seem to experience the highest occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?

Part 2: Presentation.

Prepare a 12- to 16-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes and audio, graphs, and tables.

Your audience is the city council, which is responsible for deciding whether the city invests resources to set in motion the smart parking space app.

Complete the following in your presentation:

  • Outline the rationale and goals      of the project
  • Utilize box plots showing the      occupancy rates for each day of the week. Include your interpretation of      results.
  • Utilize box plots showing the      occupancy rates for each parking lot. Include your interpretation of      results
  • Provide scatter plots showing      occupancy rate against the time of day of your selected 2 parking lots.      Include your interpretation of results
  • Make a recommendation about      continuing with the implementation of this project.

Include speaker notes that convey the details you would give if you were presenting. You will record your speaker notes.

Ensure that the slides contain only essential information and as little text as possible.

Response to tashaa discussion

  • With pain being the 6th vital sign, working in intake it is important to ask about our patients current pain. For 12 intake inmates reporting pain on a numerical scale of 1- 10, the mean pain rating is greater than 5/10. The variable is the pain rating for the incoming patients. I predicted that the mean would be above 6/10 and that was incorrect. Per week 7 lesson (2021), Hypothesis testing is a process that uses sample statistics to test a claim about the value of a population parameter. First stated the claim above. Next, I will determine if this is a Null or alternative hypothesis, The null and alternative hypotheses are two competing claims that researchers weigh evidence for and against using a statistical test (Turney, 2022). In this case, the claim is an alternative hypothesis because the use of or equal to is not included. The type of error identified is a type 1 error, and according to Holmes (2017), = probability of a Type I error = P(Type I error) = probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true: rejecting a good null. When basing the error type on the alternative hypothesis we find that it is rejecting the null hypothesis because the average pain score is less than or equal to 5/10 when the average pain score is actually greater than 5/10.
