Case Study based on Regression
The goal is to practice effective writing of statistical summaries in a way a lay person could understand. This is an important skill in the business world. Just knowing the technical details is not enough.
Your report will be short (max of 1.5 pages including table) and the spacing should be 1.5 inches. In the report you should incorporate the results properly. When I grade your report, my focus will be on your interpretation of the statistics and flow of your sentences.
Remember that writing is not easy. You will realize that doing the statistics is in fact much easier. So, take your time to articulate your report. For this reason, I advise you to work on the report well ahead of the due date. If you work on it continuously and you have a good grasp of the "Regression" topics, it will not take you more than 3 hours.
Remember the following:
Only reports uploaded on Titanium will be graded. Email submissions and hand submissions will automatically get a zero.
No hand writing on the report is allowed. A pdf document should be uploaded.
Reports that read very similar are both assigned a zero. See syllabus on academic dishonesty.
If you have any question on the case, do so well before the due date.
Your report is evaluated based on:
- Content : all issues raised in the case must be addressed effectively. Your statistical interpretations need to be correct. Incorrect or sloppy statements are penalized. So, need to think before you write.
- Organization: the report starts by defining the problem, analyze data and finally address the raised issues. See the example report I have made available. If a student addresses the issues like solving an exercise by listing them in order, I will assign a ZERO as this is not considered a report.
- Presentation: All parts of the report are written using MS WORD. Any instance of handwritten statement will lead to a significant or total loss of points. The report should be free of typos, grammatical errors, etc.
