Assessment  002 R Analysis and Report (maximum 3000 words)

In this assignment you are going to simulate data from an area chosen by yourself. It can be cyber related, healthcare, industrial, financial/credit card fraud, commerce – anything. However, run your ideas past me first before diving in. If you recall from the dplyr tutorials we were able to simulate small amounts of data based on several dataframes. We then linked the data we required using join() commands, etc. We then obtained summaries of the data and could use ggplot2 to highlight trends, etc.  

1. Carefully, choose your domain. Give a rationale for simulating it.
2. Define your data frames, generate them using sample_n and/or other commands. There is a package called charlatan you may find useful for generating personal names and other values. About 4-5 dataframes will suffice.
3. Think about seeding trends and patterns in your simulated data that you can “detect” later.
4. Use dplyr to extract the columns you need from the dataframes.
5. Use some sort of analysis such as summaries to get statistics on your data. Break it down by a category variable such as e.g. time, gender, fraudulent V normal, etc.
6. In the write-up, I will expect to see an introduction section, methods, and then sections for Simulation of data and transforming data, Analysis of data; marks for plots should of course be in the Analysis section.

Part 1: Analysis of the Data (70 marks)

You will need to develop R code to support your analysis, use dplyr where possible to get the numeric answers. Regarding ggplot2, be careful as to what type of plot you use and how you use them as you have many records and want the charts to be readable. You should place the R code in an appendix at back of the report (it will not add to word count).  Section each piece of code with # comments and screenshots of outputs.

• Simulation of data (20 marks)
• Transforming data (10 marks)
• Analysis of data and plots (20 marks)
• Write-up of the data analysis (similar format of my R tutorials) (20 marks)

Part 2: Scale-up Report (30 marks)

The second part will involve writing a report. Now assuming your Part 1 was an initial study for your organisation, what are the issues when you scale it up and start using it in practice?

• Discussion of Cyber security, big data issues, and GDPR issues (20 marks)
• Structure of report, neatness, references. Applies to both Part 1 and Part 2 (10 marks)

Penalties: Do not go over word limit of 3,000 (other than ±10%) as loss of marks will occur according to the university guidance on penalties.

Output: Submit PDF electronic copy to Canvas before the deadline, along with a file containing your R code. The data should be generated from the R code, so do not submit any data.

1.) Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. 

Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list. 

Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs. 

Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes. Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

2.) Go  to the website: https://epic.org/privacy/litigation/ which focuses on civil rights issues and privacy. Pick a case.

Using WORD, in you OWN WORDS, write an ORIGINAL brief essay of 300 words or more  :

Summarize the case

Give your opinion of the decision.

Describe how the case deals with the material in this chapter

 current business process in a specific industry.  Note the following:

-The current business process itself.

-The industry the business process is utilized in.

After explaining the current situation, take the current learning from the course and:

• Explain a new technology that the business should deploy.  Be specific, don’t only note the type of technology but the specific instance of technology.  (For example, a type of technology is smart automation a specific type of automation is automated light-dimming technology).
• Note the pros and cons of the technology selected.
• Note various factors the business should consider prior to deploying the new technology

The above submission should be three pages in length.  Remember the total length does not include the APA approved cover page or the references.  There should be at least three APA approved references to support your work. 

Write a small 1 page write up on week 9 material which is group communication in distributed system

Group Communication and Multicast

What you got out of the week’s material

Any questions on the material or the homework

Any suggestions on how to explain the material better

Any additional examples or the like that may help illustrate the material

Any research ideas that came to mind

Describe the plain view doctrine, and why  it has such a significant impact on digital forensics? What are three approaches to determining whether the doctrine applies to a specific case.

Plagiarism free and include refernces.

I have fundamentally grasped the concept of DP but i am struggling to apply this to this context

Kirk (2019) states composition is reviewing every visual property of the design.  The final layer of design thinking concerned composition: how to position, arrange and size all the chart elements, interactive controls and annotated components across the entire project and the construction decisions within each chart. Meeting the optimum readability and meeting the intent of the project is the objective. Dividing composition into project-level and chart-level composition options can help review and address areas of opportunities.

The scenario – you have just been hired at the company that has only been in business for 6 months.  The position was open due to the previous employee asked to resign due to performance issues.  You are now the designer for the new visual the previous employee was developing.  You must developing new composition choices in the face of having to accommodate new contextual factors listed below.  Provide two project-level and two chart-level composition options to address each topic listed below and provide the reasoning for each option.

1.           You had to demonstrate the worst possible data visualization composition practices in the same physical space/size. In other words what is the worst practice in a scenario where you are limited to an assigned physical space / size for the visual

2.           You had to force yourself to use as small a space as reasonably possible

3.           You have to transpose the work from landscape > portrait or vice-versa

4.           The initial data provided includes scales that will not fit onto one page, but a refresh of the data is indicating a change is needed

5.           The trustworthiness of the entire project is being questioned by upper management

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (900 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). 

WEEK 7 – DISCUSSION

In no less than 250 words, describe the difference between a fat AP and a thin AP. What is needed to deploy a thin AP? Are there any security considerations to think about between the 2 different APs?

Week 7 – Discussion

Have you or someone you know ever received a chain letter, phishing message, or some other fraudulent message via email? If so, please share this experience. Explain what type of message it was and what you did to get rid of it.(250 words)

Week 7 Assignment

• 7.1 What is the basic building block of an 802.11 WLAN?
• 7.2 Define an extended service set.

 While there are many benefits to the use of cryptocurrency, there is also much skepticism from the general public.  Much of this concern centers around legal protection associated with transactions. Search the Internet and outline what legal protections exist for Bitcoin users in the US and other countries.
