This publication includes detailed information on how to analyse the PISA data, enabling researchers to both reproduce the initial results and to undertake further analyses. In addition to the inclusion of the necessary techniques, the manual also includes a detailed account of the PISA 2006 database and worked examples providing full syntax in SPSS.

Dataset Overview:

This dataset contains simulated (hypothetical) but almost realistic (based on AI) data related to sleep, heart rate, and exercise habits of 500 individuals. It includes both pre-exercise and post-exercise resting heart rates, allowing for analyses such as a dependent t-test (Paired Sample t-test) to observe changes in heart rate after an exercise program. The dataset also includes additional health-related variables, such as age, hours of sleep per night, and exercise frequency.

The data is designed for tasks involving hypothesis testing, health analytics, or even machine learning applications that predict changes in heart rate based on personal attributes and exercise behavior. It can be used to understand the relationships between exercise frequency, sleep, and changes in heart rate.

- Features (Columns):

Age: Description: The age of the individual. Type: Integer Range: 18-60 years Relevance: Age is an important factor in determining heart rate and the effects of exercise.

Sleep Hours: Description: The average number of hours the individual sleeps per night. Type: Float Range: 3.0 - 10.0 hours Relevance: Sleep is a crucial health metric that can impact heart rate and exercise recovery.

Exercise Frequency (Days/Week): Description: The number of days per week the individual engages in physical exercise. Type: Integer Range: 1-7 days/week Relevance: More frequent exercise may lead to greater heart rate improvements and better cardiovascular health.

Resting Heart Rate Before: Description: The individual’s resting heart rate measured before beginning a 6-week exercise program. Type: Integer Range: 50 - 100 bpm (beats per minute) Relevance: This is a key health indicator, providing a baseline measurement for the individual’s heart rate.

Resting Heart Rate After: Description: The individual’s resting heart rate measured after completing the 6-week exercise program. Type: Integer Range: 45 - 95 bpm (lower than the "Resting Heart Rate Before" due to the effects of exercise). Relevance: This variable is essential for understanding how exercise affects heart rate over time, and it can be used to perform a dependent t-test analysis.

Max Heart Rate During Exercise: Description: The maximum heart rate the individual reached during exercise sessions. Type: Integer Range: 120 - 190 bpm Relevance: This metric helps in understanding cardiovascular strain during exercise and can be linked to exercise frequency or fitness levels.

Potential Uses: Dependent T-Test Analysis: The dataset is particularly suited for a dependent (paired) t-test where you compare the resting heart rate before and after the exercise program for each individual.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):Investigate relationships between sleep, exercise frequency, and changes in heart rate. Potential analyses include correlations between sleep hours and resting heart rate improvement, or regression analyses to predict heart rate after exercise.

Machine Learning: Use the dataset for predictive modeling, and build a beginner regression model to predict post-exercise heart rate using age, sleep, and exercise frequency as features.

Health and Fitness Insights: This dataset can be useful for studying how different factors like sleep and age influence heart rate changes and overall cardiovascular health.

The complete dataset used in the analysis comprises 36 samples, each described by 11 numeric features and 1 target. The attributes considered were caspase 3/7 activity, Mitotracker red CMXRos area and intensity (3 h and 24 h incubations with both compounds), Mitosox oxidation (3 h incubation with the referred compounds) and oxidation rate, DCFDA fluorescence (3 h and 24 h incubations with either compound) and oxidation rate, and DQ BSA hydrolysis. The target of each instance corresponds to one of the 9 possible classes (4 samples per class): Control, 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 µM for 6-OHDA and 0.03, 0.06, 0.125 and 0.25 µM for rotenone. The dataset is balanced, it does not contain any missing values and data was standardized across features. The small number of samples prevented a full and strong statistical analysis of the results. Nevertheless, it allowed the identification of relevant hidden patterns and trends.

Exploratory data analysis, information gain, hierarchical clustering, and supervised predictive modeling were performed using Orange Data Mining version 3.25.1 [41]. Hierarchical clustering was performed using the Euclidean distance metric and weighted linkage. Cluster maps were plotted to relate the features with higher mutual information (in rows) with instances (in columns), with the color of each cell representing the normalized level of a particular feature in a specific instance. The information is grouped both in rows and in columns by a two-way hierarchical clustering method using the Euclidean distances and average linkage. Stratified cross-validation was used to train the supervised decision tree. A set of preliminary empirical experiments were performed to choose the best parameters for each algorithm, and we verified that, within moderate variations, there were no significant changes in the outcome. The following settings were adopted for the decision tree algorithm: minimum number of samples in leaves: 2; minimum number of samples required to split an internal node: 5; stop splitting when majority reaches: 95%; criterion: gain ratio. The performance of the supervised model was assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure and area under the ROC curve (AUC) metrics.

BackgroundIndividual participant data (IPD) meta-analyses that obtain “raw” data from studies rather than summary data typically adopt a “two-stage” approach to analysis whereby IPD within trials generate summary measures, which are combined using standard meta-analytical methods. Recently, a range of “one-stage” approaches which combine all individual participant data in a single meta-analysis have been suggested as providing a more powerful and flexible approach. However, they are more complex to implement and require statistical support. This study uses a dataset to compare “two-stage” and “one-stage” models of varying complexity, to ascertain whether results obtained from the approaches differ in a clinically meaningful way. Methods and FindingsWe included data from 24 randomised controlled trials, evaluating antiplatelet agents, for the prevention of pre-eclampsia in pregnancy. We performed two-stage and one-stage IPD meta-analyses to estimate overall treatment effect and to explore potential treatment interactions whereby particular types of women and their babies might benefit differentially from receiving antiplatelets. Two-stage and one-stage approaches gave similar results, showing a benefit of using anti-platelets (Relative risk 0.90, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.97). Neither approach suggested that any particular type of women benefited more or less from antiplatelets. There were no material differences in results between different types of one-stage model. ConclusionsFor these data, two-stage and one-stage approaches to analysis produce similar results. Although one-stage models offer a flexible environment for exploring model structure and are useful where across study patterns relating to types of participant, intervention and outcome mask similar relationships within trials, the additional insights provided by their usage may not outweigh the costs of statistical support for routine application in syntheses of randomised controlled trials. Researchers considering undertaking an IPD meta-analysis should not necessarily be deterred by a perceived need for sophisticated statistical methods when combining information from large randomised trials.

2) Data Utilization (1) Sample Sales Data has characteristics that: • This dataset consists of numerical (sales, quantity, unit price, etc.), categorical (product, country, city, customer name, transaction size, etc.), and date (order date) variables, with missing values in some columns (STATE, ADDRESSLINE2, POSTALCODE, etc.). (2) Sample Sales Data can be used to: • Analysis of sales trends and performance by product: Key variables such as order date, product line, and country can be used to visualize and analyze monthly and yearly sales trends, the proportion of sales by product line, and top sales by country and region. • Segmentation and marketing strategies: Segmentation of customer groups based on customer information, transaction size, and regional data, and use them to design targeted marketing and customized promotion strategies.

Sheet 1 (Raw-Data): The raw data of the study is provided, presenting the tagging results for the used measures described in the paper. For each subject, it includes multiple columns: A. a sequential student ID B an ID that defines a random group label and the notation C. the used notation: user Story or use Cases D. the case they were assigned to: IFA, Sim, or Hos E. the subject's exam grade (total points out of 100). Empty cells mean that the subject did not take the first exam F. a categorical representation of the grade L/M/H, where H is greater or equal to 80, M is between 65 included and 80 excluded, L otherwise G. the total number of classes in the student's conceptual model H. the total number of relationships in the student's conceptual model I. the total number of classes in the expert's conceptual model J. the total number of relationships in the expert's conceptual model K-O. the total number of encountered situations of alignment, wrong representation, system-oriented, omitted, missing (see tagging scheme below) P. the researchers' judgement on how well the derivation process explanation was explained by the student: well explained (a systematic mapping that can be easily reproduced), partially explained (vague indication of the mapping ), or not present.

Tagging scheme:
Aligned (AL) - A concept is represented as a class in both models, either

with the same name or using synonyms or clearly linkable names; Wrongly represented (WR) - A class in the domain expert model is incorrectly represented in the student model, either (i) via an attribute, method, or relationship rather than class, or (ii) using a generic term (e.g., user'' instead ofurban planner''); System-oriented (SO) - A class in CM-Stud that denotes a technical implementation aspect, e.g., access control. Classes that represent legacy system or the system under design (portal, simulator) are legitimate; Omitted (OM) - A class in CM-Expert that does not appear in any way in CM-Stud; Missing (MI) - A class in CM-Stud that does not appear in any way in CM-Expert.

All the calculations and information provided in the following sheets

originate from that raw data.

Sheet 2 (Descriptive-Stats): Shows a summary of statistics from the data collection,

including the number of subjects per case, per notation, per process derivation rigor category, and per exam grade category.

Sheet 3 (Size-Ratio):

The number of classes within the student model divided by the number of classes within the expert model is calculated (describing the size ratio). We provide box plots to allow a visual comparison of the shape of the distribution, its central value, and its variability for each group (by case, notation, process, and exam grade) . The primary focus in this study is on the number of classes. However, we also provided the size ratio for the number of relationships between student and expert model.

Sheet 4 (Overall):

Provides an overview of all subjects regarding the encountered situations, completeness, and correctness, respectively. Correctness is defined as the ratio of classes in a student model that is fully aligned with the classes in the corresponding expert model. It is calculated by dividing the number of aligned concepts (AL) by the sum of the number of aligned concepts (AL), omitted concepts (OM), system-oriented concepts (SO), and wrong representations (WR). Completeness on the other hand, is defined as the ratio of classes in a student model that are correctly or incorrectly represented over the number of classes in the expert model. Completeness is calculated by dividing the sum of aligned concepts (AL) and wrong representations (WR) by the sum of the number of aligned concepts (AL), wrong representations (WR) and omitted concepts (OM). The overview is complemented with general diverging stacked bar charts that illustrate correctness and completeness.

For sheet 4 as well as for the following four sheets, diverging stacked bar

charts are provided to visualize the effect of each of the independent and mediated variables. The charts are based on the relative numbers of encountered situations for each student. In addition, a "Buffer" is calculated witch solely serves the purpose of constructing the diverging stacked bar charts in Excel. Finally, at the bottom of each sheet, the significance (T-test) and effect size (Hedges' g) for both completeness and correctness are provided. Hedges' g was calculated with an online tool: https://www.psychometrica.de/effect_size.html. The independent and moderating variables can be found as follows:

Sheet 5 (By-Notation):

Model correctness and model completeness is compared by notation - UC, US.

Sheet 6 (By-Case):

Model correctness and model completeness is compared by case - SIM, HOS, IFA.

Sheet 7 (By-Process):

Model correctness and model completeness is compared by how well the derivation process is explained - well explained, partially explained, not present.

Sheet 8 (By-Grade):

Model correctness and model completeness is compared by the exam grades, converted to categorical values High, Low , and Medium.

Download the packet and reference the details of this case study anytime. Then, when you begin your job hunt, your case study will be a tangible way to demonstrate your knowledge and skills to potential employers.

Scenario

You are a junior data analyst working in the marketing analyst team at Cyclistic, a bike-share company in Chicago. The director of marketing believes the company’s future success depends on maximizing the number of annual memberships. Therefore, your team wants to understand how casual riders and annual members use Cyclistic bikes differently. From these insights, your team will design a new marketing strategy to convert casual riders into annual members. But first, Cyclistic executives must approve your recommendations, so they must be backed up with compelling data insights and professional data visualizations. Characters and teams ● Cyclistic: A bike-share program that features more than 5,800 bicycles and 600 docking stations. Cyclistic sets itself apart by also offering reclining bikes, hand tricycles, and cargo bikes, making bike-share more inclusive to people with disabilities and riders who can’t use a standard two-wheeled bike. The majority of riders opt for traditional bikes; about 8% of riders use the assistive options. Cyclistic users are more likely to ride for leisure, but about 30% use them to commute to work each day. ● Lily Moreno: The director of marketing and your manager. Moreno is responsible for the development of campaigns and initiatives to promote the bike-share program. These may include email, social media, and other channels. ● Cyclistic marketing analytics team: A team of data analysts who are responsible for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data that helps guide Cyclistic marketing strategy. You joined this team six months ago and have been busy learning about Cyclistic’s mission and business goals — as well as how you, as a junior data analyst, can help Cyclistic achieve them. ● Cyclistic executive team: The notoriously detail-oriented executive team will decide whether to approve the recommended marketing program.

About the company

In 2016, Cyclistic launched a successful bike-share offering. Since then, the program has grown to a fleet of 5,824 bicycles that are geotracked and locked into a network of 692 stations across Chicago. The bikes can be unlocked from one station and returned to any other station in the system anytime. Until now, Cyclistic’s marketing strategy relied on building general awareness and appealing to broad consumer segments. One approach that helped make these things possible was the flexibility of its pricing plans: single-ride passes, full-day passes, and annual memberships. Customers who purchase single-ride or full-day passes are referred to as casual riders. Customers who purchase annual memberships are Cyclistic members. Cyclistic’s finance analysts have concluded that annual members are much more profitable than casual riders. Although the pricing flexibility helps Cyclistic attract more customers, Moreno believes that maximizing the number of annual members will be key to future growth. Rather than creating a marketing campaign that targets all-new customers, Moreno believes there is a very good chance to convert casual riders into members. She notes that casual riders are already aware of the Cyclistic program and have chosen Cyclistic for their mobility needs. Moreno has set a clear goal: Design marketing strategies aimed at converting casual riders into annual members. In order to do that, however, the marketing analyst team needs to better understand how annual members and casual riders differ, why casual riders would buy a membership, and how digital media could affect their marketing tactics. Moreno and her team are interested in analyzing the Cyclistic historical bike trip data to identify trends

Three questions will guide the future marketing program:

How do annual members and casual riders use Cyclistic bikes differently? Why would casual riders buy Cyclistic annual memberships? How can Cyclistic use digital media to influence casual riders to become members? Moreno has assigned you the first question to answer: How do annual members and casual rid...

In the way of my journey to earn the google data analytics certificate I will practice real world example by following the steps of the data analysis process: ask, prepare, process, analyze, share, and act. Picking the Bellabeat example.

Neural decoding is a powerful method to analyze neural activity. However, the code needed to run a decoding analysis can be complex, which can present a barrier to using the method. In this paper we introduce a package that makes it easy to perform decoding analyses in the R programing language. We describe how the package is designed in a modular fashion which allows researchers to easily implement a range of different analyses. We also discuss how to format data to be able to use the package, and we give two examples of how to use the package to analyze real data. We believe that this package, combined with the rich data analysis ecosystem in R, will make it significantly easier for researchers to create reproducible decoding analyses, which should help increase the pace of neuroscience discoveries.

The global big data and business analytics (BDA) market was valued at ***** billion U.S. dollars in 2018 and is forecast to grow to ***** billion U.S. dollars by 2021. In 2021, more than half of BDA spending will go towards services. IT services is projected to make up around ** billion U.S. dollars, and business services will account for the remainder. Big data High volume, high velocity and high variety: one or more of these characteristics is used to define big data, the kind of data sets that are too large or too complex for traditional data processing applications. Fast-growing mobile data traffic, cloud computing traffic, as well as the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) all contribute to the increasing volume and complexity of data sets. For example, connected IoT devices are projected to generate **** ZBs of data in 2025. Business analytics Advanced analytics tools, such as predictive analytics and data mining, help to extract value from the data and generate business insights. The size of the business intelligence and analytics software application market is forecast to reach around **** billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Growth in this market is driven by a focus on digital transformation, a demand for data visualization dashboards, and an increased adoption of cloud.

This article discusses how to make statistical graphics a more prominent element of the undergraduate statistics curricula. The focus is on several different types of assignments that exemplify how to incorporate graphics into a course in a pedagogically meaningful way. These assignments include having students deconstruct and reconstruct plots, copy masterful graphs, create one-minute visual revelations, convert tables into “pictures,” and develop interactive visualizations, for example, with the virtual earth as a plotting canvas. In addition to describing the goals and details of each assignment, we also discuss the broader topic of graphics and key concepts that we think warrant inclusion in the statistics curricula. We advocate that more attention needs to be paid to this fundamental field of statistics at all levels, from introductory undergraduate through graduate level courses. With the rapid rise of tools to visualize data, for example, Google trends, GapMinder, ManyEyes, and Tableau, and the increased use of graphics in the media, understanding the principles of good statistical graphics, and having the ability to create informative visualizations is an ever more important aspect of statistics education. Supplementary materials containing code and data for the assignments are available online.

Example data sets and computer code for the book chapter titled "Missing Data in the Analysis of Multilevel and Dependent Data" submitted for publication in the second edition of "Dependent Data in Social Science Research" (Stemmler et al., 2015). This repository includes the computer code (".R") and the data sets from both example analyses (Examples 1 and 2). The data sets are available in two file formats (binary ".rda" for use in R; plain-text ".dat").

The data sets contain simulated data from 23,376 (Example 1) and 23,072 (Example 2) individuals from 2,000 groups on four variables:

ID = group identifier (1-2000) x = numeric (Level 1) y = numeric (Level 1) w = binary (Level 2)

In all data sets, missing values are coded as "NA".
