Decision Management Systems Assignment - Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using Cognos Analytics

1. Select from the datasets provided (or ones designated by your instructor). Provide a brief description of the dataset to include the number of cases, description of the inputs, description of the variables that could be used to develop predictive models, etc.

2. Examine the dataset and eliminate mistakes, bad records, data entry errors, and outliers.

Using Cognos Analytics:

3. Explore the dataset, including:

a) Pose an initial set of questions to use for data exploration. Provide any insights gained from using Cognos Analytics with this dataset. For example, are there outliers? Missing variables for some cases? Irrelevant variables? If so, what do you recommend as solutions? How does Cognos Analytics provide assistance? Develop new specific questions which provide additional insights into and answer specific questions from the dataset. Discuss how these insights could be useful. Discuss how you would improve the relevancy.

b) Develop and explain at least five different visualizations. Experiment with the available options and summarize the results. Provide insights to what the visualizations show.

c) Utilize features (e.g., filters, comparisons) with the visualizations to uncover and explain interesting aspects of the data set.

d) Create and explain at least one insightful calculation. Discuss why this would be useful.

Content -

1) Title page (1 page limit): course number and term, assignment number and project title, student name and contact information, instructor's name. Format it so it looks pleasant and presentable. Follow formatting guidelines above.

2) Introduction. Provide a brief outline of the dataset you are using for this assignment. Briefly describe the content of the data. Include a screenshot of the data (not all, but partial as far as all relevant variables are visible).

3) Data exploration process. Explain and discuss what data exploration you performed (e.g., questions generated about the data set content). Include any specific ideas or suggestions as to how this could be used in your organization.

4) Visualizations created. Explain the visualizations created. Include the value-added aspects of the visualizations. Include creative aspects for increasing potential for higher assignment grade.

5) Calculation which adds insights or value to the data set. Include and explain the value of the calculation, i.e., insights provided by the calculation.

6) References (1 page limit): List all references in APA format used in preparing this report. It is strongly recommended to use outside knowledge in setting-up the analysis or discussing the results where possible.

7) Appendix (4 page limit):

a) Appendix A: Include any appropriate workbooks and/or screenshots (figures, tables, diagrams) used in this assignment. Make sure all tables, figures, or diagrams are properly numbered and titled. For example, "Table 1. Model Results". Make sure all tables or figures or diagrams are easily readable and visually presentable.

Need help in Data Exploration -

Have not completed this section but did create one visual found in Appendix A. Below are the criteria this section needs.

Data exploration and calculations -

a) Are questions about the data set discussed and their relevance analyzed? Are insights from the questions provided?

b) Was at least one calculation for the data set performed? How meaningful was the calculation? Did the calculation provide insights and/or clarity to the data set?

Visualizations

a) How well are at least five insightful visualizations developed? How effectively were filters used? How appropriate were the comparison visualizations? What insights were included?

b) How well are visualizations explained and interpreted? Are the visualizations appropriate and varied? Are insights provided that would help understand the important aspects of the data set? Are creative aspects included in the visualizations?

c) How creative were the visualizations? Did they provide interesting insights and conclusions about the data set?

No Of Pages/Words: 2. Assignment is using Cognos Analytics, which login is located in the requirements attachment. I've partially completed the assignment but I need help with more visualizations and writing in the data exploration section. In the Assignment_Partially done, I've highlighted the help I need. Please use the "Refined Data Module" in Cognos to build visuals. The original dataset is still available as well, which is the "houesprice" file. This is an individual assignment. Each student will complete the assignment outlined and post his/her written results to the appropriate assignment. Please note that only 1 document is allowed to be submitted.

General guidance - Assignments that: 1) adequately address all required tasks; 2) are submitted on time; 3) are properly formatted (APA format for references, no typos or misspelled words, no grammar errors, cover page, etc.) will receive a grade of B (80-89, depending on content). In order to increase (but not guarantee) your chances of receiving a higher grade, you need to show clear evidence of critical thinking. Critical thinking can take many forms, depending on the type of assignment.

In some instances, showing greater depth (e.g., such as creating more models, looking at more than one insightful fact or relationships, and comparing them on key criteria) is one method for providing evidence of critical thinking. In other cases, it might include providing more explanation to include the pros and cons of the approach used or the arguments in favor and against the proposal as well as some criteria for choosing among the alternatives. Still another example would be providing significant insights as to how the assignment outcome would benefit (or would meet resistance) in your organization and what steps might be employed to facilitate acceptance. Certainly, this is not a complete list, but gives some examples of critical thinking aspects.
