Big Data and Analytics Assignment - ANALYTIC REPORT and PRESENTATION
Analytic Report Purpose: The purpose of this task is to provide students with practical experience in working in teams to write a Data Analytical report to provide useful insights, pattern and trends in the chosen/given dataset. This activity will give students the opportunity to show innovation and creativity in applying Watson Analytics and designing useful visualization solutions and predictive solutions for various analytics problems.
Group Presentation Purpose: The purpose of the oral presentation is to provide an opportunity for students to present the results of DATA Analysis and to share this knowledge while practicing their verbal communication skills.
Project Details: Your task for this analytical project is to use analytical tool (i.e Watson Analytics) to explore, analyze and visualize one of the two given dataset. Your tutor will assign you the dataset. This dataset reflects reported incidents of crime (with the exception of murders where data exists for each victim) that occurred in the City of Chicago from 2012.
