代做BSAN3210 Technology of Business Analytics代写C/C++编程

Guidelines to BSAN3210 Project Proposal

The course BSAN3210, Technology of Business Analytics, has three assessment items: a project plan(proposal), a project report, and a final examination. These notes outline my expectations for the project plan or proposal.

General comments

•    When a lecturer asks you to describe a number of things within your report (such as the

purpose and significance of your report) then they will be assessing whether you have done each of these things. To ensure that they understand that you have done that then have

different paragraphs (or sections) of your report each with a different heading (eg. purpose, significance) so that it is painfully obvious that you have addressed each of these points.

•    Naming convention for filenames – please call your assignment

“BSAN3210_Proposal__” . You can submit your assignment as a Word document or a PDF, whichever you would prefer.

Within this assignment you will envision presenting a project plan to a group of stakeholders where you will be developing a software tool that could be useful for your group of stakeholders. You do not need to provide your software for this assignment. Please provide your plan for developing the software. For example, you need to explain which features, variables, functions you are planning to use for creating the software in R. The assignment demonstrates your ability to use the R programming language.

You need to choose one of the datasets in R as described in

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/datasets/html/00Index.html

You are free to choose the purpose of your software and to define your group of stakeholders however you want. For example, if you are interested in Finance then you might choose to use variables about residents’ income and to define your stakeholders as Financial Advisors with about 10 years of working experience.

The total percentage of marks for course is 20%.

This report will be in three parts:

o Part 1 –overall goal. In this I want you to describe

•    your group of stakeholders who will be using your final software tool,

•    a brief overview of what you want your software tool to do (purpose),

•    why you think this would be a useful tool for them (significance).

•    the dataset you are planning to use.

•    list of variables you are planning to use and the importance of including those variables

o Part 2 - software design. For this imagine that you are designing a piece of software where you will give your design to a group of software developers so that they can write the code. This will need to include a written description of what you want your software to do, and a basic plot (drawn in a tool   like Microsoft Paint) to illustrate what you want your computer interface to look like. You need to provide at least 4 snapshots of your proposed software. (Please refer to the example at the end of this file). You can use different graphical software for creating pictures of your software. At this stage I do not expect you to do any programming in R. Just provide the pictures of your proposed software.

o Part 3 –review the checklist of tasks I want you to include in your software and for each item tell me where you will include this in your software design.

Your software will need to include certain programming features that we will discuss throughout this semester

•     File import and export

•     Data types – changing variables from one data type to another (eg. You might use this to

show one plot with a variable as a continuous variable, and then to convert that variable into a categorical variable to show a different kind of plot)

•     At least one looping structure (eg. for and while loops) (eg. While not the most elegant way of doing this you might use a looping structure to add two vectors together one element at a

time, or to produce a cumulative sum of the elements in a vector)

•     At least one conditional statement (eg. If … then … else …) eg. You might have a button in

your software where your software behaves differently if the user clicks the button, or if the user chooses different options from a drop-down list).

•     At least three different widgets for collecting data from a user that will influence the behaviour of the software (eg. Such as a drop-down list of colours to use in a plot)

•     At least one statistical plot

•     A web interface (using R Shiny)

Presentation

•    While this requires just a little bit more than what other lecturers will ask of you, I will ask

that your assignments have a truly professional look (eg. take a look at the Annual Reports from UQ at https://www.uq.edu.au/about/annual-reports). In particular take a look at the title page, the fonts, and the use of graphics. To achieve that for your university assignments (or at least your university assignments with me) would take about an hour to set up your style. design template, and you could then use that template within all of your assignments. This might sound like a pedantic point, but once you hit the workforce all of your report will  follow that kind of professional standard and so you may as well get used to doing that now.

•    You need to have a title page with your course code, your name, the assignment name, and the total word count. You will want to also do something to pretty up that page (nice formatting of text, a pretty picture on the topic of your report).

•    Include page numbers, numbered section headings, and a table of contents.

•    Be very careful about spelling and grammar, and make sure to avoid slang and contractions (eg. don’t, can’t).

•    Write in a creative and engaging way (eg. instead of calling your assignment the name of

“Health and ageing” your might call it “The secrets of keeping healthy at an older age”). This might be difficult or impossible to do in the technical sections of your text, but there is a lot of opportunity to do this in sections like the overall goal.
