The political debate over Net Neutrality has been going on for many, many years now in this country against the backdrop of freedom of information vs. censorship.  Write an essay explaining a brief timeline of the controversy, who the stakeholders in the debate are, and what position they are taking in the controversy.  Explain whose position you support and why.  It is possible you will not agree with either point of view completely.  In that event, propose a compromise solution and explain why it is the better outcome of the debate.  Below are two short articles outlining the basic idea of the debate.  After reading them, research the topic in more depth and use facts or quotations from articles you find to support any conclusions you draw. You must reference at least two additional sources. 

Complete the following assignment in one MS word document:

group 9 : Clustering with correlation coefficient

This presentation / project is about correlation coefficients used as the clustering measure.

File needed to see the correlation coefficients and bi-monthly returns:

returnAstcBiMonthlyEG1.mat

Address in the presentation the following:

1) Given correlation coefficient from https://mathworld.wolfram.com/CorrelationCoefficient.html

A) What is the meaning of correlation coefficient between the two set of stocks prices?

B) Show why the correlation coefficient between the set of prices A and set of prices B is the same as the correlation coefficient between the set of prices B and set of prices A.

2) After loading returnAstcBiMonthlyEG1.mat in Octave, you’ll have stocks with bi-monthly returns of above 0.009 : 

CC -> correlation coefficients between the stock returns,

RTRS ->  bi-monthly returns (rows) for 412 stocks (columns)

A) Comment the correlation coefficients based on bi-monthly returns among 412 stocks shown in the figure  P5_CC_eg1.pdf

B) Assuming that clusters are created by putting all the stocks whose correlation coefficients among all the pairs are greater than 0.5, comment on the following cluster distribution : 302 clusters with only 1 stock,  28 with 2 stock,  6 with 3,  4 with 4, 1 with 5,  1 with 6 , and  1 cluster with 9 stocks in it.

C) Explain why it would be good to pick just one stock from the cluster for the diversified portfolio.
