Obesity And Quality Of Life

Business Understanding- After find a data set about obesity, correlating diseases, and habits amongst Americans collected by the CDC, my team and I decided to to visually show what the raw data contains numbers showing an association between chronic diseases, high BMI's, and obesity rates.

Data Understanding- We looked at our raw data, and while there was a lot of good information provided we decided to bring in other data sets also from the CDC from the same time and areas. The other data set

Pre-processing

This showcase was fun. Our team used two different pre-processing software and got to get our hands dirty and cleaned data. We ultimately chose to use Orange over Tableau. Orange doesn't rely on code to pre-process but user friendly widgets. There are widgets for missing values, outliers, and joins and unions. I believe this showcase demonstrates my ability to address any issues in a data set that could prevent me from using it to create meaningful visuals.

Visualization

These two assignments show my ability to assess my data set, clean my data set, and create visuals that make sense. I feel it also shows my understanding of what makes a good visual, and the importance of having enough information to make a good visual. The second slide show demonstrates how with enough information I can tell a story, or give advice with the facts necessary to justify that advice. Both showcases exemplifies how I am able to work with both Tableau Prep Builder and Tableau Desktop

Data Acquisition

This showcase exhibits my ability to work with a group of people to take a critical look at a data set. We looked at both data sets identified the entities and the attributes that describe them. We also looked at the set as a whole to figure out if there was enough information to create understandable statements backed up by the information in the dataset. In addition to that we had to determine if there were too many null entries or outliers. For my part, I found the second data set we looked a

Current Trends

Yet again this was another group project, and while we worked together to design our broadsheet, and decided what we wanted in it each article was an individual endeavor. For my part I wrote one article about the highest rated data analysis software currently on the market, and another article about how to gain a career in data analytics. This was a great undertaking because I feel it gave me a great scope on the process of getting a job in data, and outside of working hard how to maintain that

Crisp-DM

Cross Industry Standard Process For Data Mining is a step by step circular process to execute a data mining project. As a team my group and I decided to take up this approach when working on this project. We assessed what was being asked of us when we started this assignment. Then we took a look at the data we gained on the process of Crisp-Dm, took notes and made a model of our data in a power point presentation. After wards we evaluated our and ultimately decided to publish it. While we knew w

Tailoring To An Audience

.This project is an example of my ability to target an audience, and how I use my technical writing skills to address that audience. In this assignment I read two excerpts from books about Data Analysis, I was then tasked with analyzing and reviewing those excerpts into written communications to 3 different types of audiences. This project for me was great refresher on data analytics, and my biggest take away was getting reacquainted with the basics of data management.
