IT475 Decision Support Systems

All requirements are attached to the file

PowerPoint presentation to be for explanation only

1.We ask you to solve the assignment in more detail.

2.Take into account all the points mentioned and do what is required.

3.Please take care to avoid plagiarism, rephrase sentences if necessary.

4.Take the necessary time, to achieve our goal of creating the perfect assignment solutionI

As you can see, we have two files. In the assignment file, I want the model solution in detail, which I will attach to the university, but in the presentation file, I want an explanation and clarification of what we did in the assignment solution to present in the class for the students.

My teacher, I do not want my homework to be similar to other students’ solutions to avoid copying upon submission

Project
14 Marks
Students can form groups consisting of three students and send their names to their
instructors before 5th October 2023. Otherwise, the instructors will form the groups
randomly and assign any datasets to the groups.
Select one dataset from the datasets provided in the bellow link.

✓
After the dataset is selected (or assigned), analyze the data using Microsoft Excel
to discover the structure of data, trends, patterns, or any anomalies in the data based on
your own hypothesis.
✓
Perform the following six tasks.
✓
You should use visualization to aid your answers.
Your project will include two main parts:
1.
The final project report which must incorporate all the following 6 tasks and
written using the provided template. (10 marks distributed among the below tasks).
2.
A presentation that illustrates your 6 tasks completed in the project. (4 marks)
==========================================================
Task 1: Understand and describe the nature and structure of the selected dataset. (2
marks)
•
Describe the dataset. Your description should answer the following questions:
is it reliable? how was it collected? What its size?
Project
Pg. 02
•
Identify the features of dataset.
•
Propose hypothesis / assumptions (between 2 numerical variables) to validate.
Task 2: Check if your selected features have any of the following issues. Describe how you
conducted the tests and how you addressed the issues. Support your answers with screenshots of
the issues before and after the fixes. (1 mark)
•
Missing values (0.25 for the test, fix and screenshot)
•
Duplicate values (0.25)
•
Data outliers (0.25)
•
Any noise or irregularities (0.25)
Task 3: Provide descriptive statistics for the selected features using statistical method to
understand the dataset more and answer the following analysis questions: (2 marks)
•
Include any of the measure of central tendency such as the mean, median, and mode.
•
Describe the spread of your data. This may include the measure of variance, standard
deviation, skewness, and kurtosis.
(You are encouraged to impose other analysis questions based on any trend you notice in
the dataset).
Task 4: Validate the hypothesis in Task 1 by investigating the relationship between two
quantitative variables you have chosen using correlation, regression and R-squared with possible
conclusions. (2 marks)
Task 5: Show visual representation of your analysis (hint: use the right chart/graph for your data
analysis). (1 mark)
Task 6: Build an active Dashboard which summarizes the most crucial factors (variables) that
will help in decision-making process, and then demonstrate the effectiveness of your selection
of those factors in the decision-making process. (2 marks)
