Subject: Total Quality systems

Topic for Research Paper is  Benchmarking . (At least 6 page)

Background: In this assignment, you will design a visualization for a small data set and provide a rigorous rationale for your design choices. You should in theory be ready to explain the contribution of every pixel in the display.

Data Set: Antibiotics

After the World War II, antibiotics were considered as “wonder drugs”, since they were easy remedy for what had been intractable ailments. To learn which drug worked most effectively for which bacterial infection, performance of the three most popular antibiotics on 16 bacteria were gathered.

Table 1: Burtin’s data

I HAVE ATTACHED THE FILE OF THE TABLE!!

The values in the table represent the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), a measure of the effectiveness of the antibiotic, which represents the concentration of antibiotic required to prevent growth in vitro. The reaction of the bacteria to Gram staining is described by the covariate “gram staining”. Bacteria that are stained dark blue or violet are Gram-positive. Otherwise, they are Gram-negative.

Assignment

Your task is to design a static (i.e., single image) visualization that you believe effectively communicates the data (20 points) and provide a short write-up (no more than 2 pages long) describing your design (60 points).

You may find it most instructive to create the chart from scratch using Excel or Tableau Public.

PLEASE TRY TO DO IT ON EXCEL OR TABLEAU PUBLIC!!

While you must use the data set given, note that you are free to transform the data as you see fit. You are also free to incorporate external data as you see fit. Your chart image should be interpretable without looking at your short write-up. Appropriate title, axis labels or legends are needed.

The write-up should include but not limited to the following components:

• Describe how your created the visualization, what software was used, any external data used, the steps you took to create the visualization etc. (10 points)
• Tell the story of the figure. In the big picture, what story (or stories) are you trying to tell?  (10 points)
• Justification of visual encodings. Use the what-how-why framework to analyze your vis. Data: What are data and dataset types? Encodings: marks and channels used? Tasks: What are tasks of your vis? (20 points)
• Effectiveness of visualization. In your write-up, you should provide a rigorous rationale for your design Document the visual encodings you used and why they are appropriate for the data. These decisions include the choice of chart type, size, color, scale, and other visual elements, as well as the use of sorting or other data transformations. How do these decisions facilitate effective communication? Any pros or cons of design? (20 points)

The writing quality of the report will also be evaluated in grading. Please proofread your submission before submitting it and make sure it is free of spelling and grammar issues. (10% of the grade.)

Submission Instructions:

Save the write-up as a Word file ,save the visualization as an image format (PNG or JPEG). Submit both files.

If you only include the image inside the Word file, you will lost the 20 points for not including the individual image file.

Chapter-11 Questions:

Researchers were interested in whether lifetime coffee consumption was related to differences in pineal gland size in healthy older (60-94 years old) individuals. Using the number of years, they had been drinking coffee and the number of cups per day, Park and colleagues divided their participants into three groups based on their lifetime coffee consumption: low, moderate, and high. They also measured the volume of the pineal gland using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The data that follow are hypothetical pineal gland volume created so the conclusions and means you reach will mimic the experiment.

FYI- data table is attached to screenshot

Conduct analysis using α = .05 to determine if lifetime coffee consumption is related to differences in pineal gland size. Answer the following questions:

a) Perform the F test, create an ANOVA summary table, 

b) Complete a Tukey HSD analysis (if appropriate), calculate the effect size index f, and the three d‘s. 

c) Write a conclusion about the relationship of lifetime coffee consumption and pineal gland size.

Title: Design and develop a Distributed Recommendation System on Hadoop

Problem statement: 

 Given 2 CSV data sets: 

(a) A course dataset containing details of courses offered

(b) A job description dataset containing a list of job descriptions 

(Note: Each field of a job description record is demarcated by ” “)

You have to design and implement a distributed recommendation system using the data sets, which will recommend the best courses for up-skilling based on a given job description. You can use the data set to train the system and pick some job descriptions not in the training set to test. 

It is left up to you how you pick necessary features and build the training that creates matching courses for job profiles.

Use Map Reduce and Python

NOTE: Combine all data_job_posts.csv into a single CSV file. Due to size limitation, I had to split the file

Project Risk Management then review the material below and follow the instructions
Assignment Overview:
You will create a Project Risk Register using the provided

Risk Register template                  Download Risk Register template              

for an IT infrastructure project.  This assignment  is a true Exercise and the project is not associated with or  based on Case Study material in the textbook, but on the following  scenario:
Your IT consulting firm (NetScan, LLC) was contracted to install the  IT infrastructure (cabling, servers, workstations, wireless APs, other  hardware, software, network equipment, and internet connectivity) in a  new, 20,000 sq. ft. building for Blue Suit Consulting.  The initial  build-out includes 15 offices and a data center on a single floor with  the building being ready to start the installation 4 months from now.   Your CIO budgeted $32,000.00 for the project and expects completion in 3  months. 
Your Assignment:   As a team, develop an initial Risk Register for this project. 
As you have learned in the preceding weeks, there are many aspects of  managing a project, and risks can arise in any of them.  For this  assignment, it is recommended that each team member focus on identifying  events that could occur that would impact one of these aspects:
Schedule – you have two target dates in the above description Budget  – how far does $32,000 go?  (Note:  your project is only to INSTALL the  infrastructure, your client, Blue Suit Consulting, will pay for the  equipment and materials) Staffing – you will need a team.  What can go wrong? Stakeholder Management – you have a client to keep happy… Communication Management – Where are the risks to your communication plan? Procurement – Blue Suit is paying, but what can go wrong in the purchasing process? Quality – what events or factors can result in unacceptable quality? Integration – all of the above need to integrate and stay in synch.

****Just need to fill out risk factor in a project in above provided template with an example provided. You must find at least 15 risk factors and solutions of project explained above****
