  • Computer Science Question

    Summary:

    Create an Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram for the information system of your business. The ER diagram should illustrate key entities, relationships, and attributes relevant to the system’s data requirements. Additionally, provide a brief explanation of each component in the diagram, explaining the role and importance of the entities, the nature of the relationships between them, and the significance of their attributes. Make sure to research other use cases

    Below are the steps to complete this assignment:
    1. Identify Key Entities: Start by determining the major objects (entities) your business will need to track. These are typically tangible objects like Customers, Products, or Orders, but can also include abstract entities like Invoices or Transactions.
    2. Establish Relationships: Next, identify the relationships between these entities. For example, a Customer might place multiple Orders, and each Order might contain multiple Products. Consider how these entities will interact in your system.
    3. Determine Attributes: For each entity, specify key attributes (or fields). For example, a Customer might have attributes like Customer ID, Name, and Email, while a Product might have attributes like Product ID, Product Name, and Price.
    4. Create the ER Diagram: Use a diagramming tool like Lucidchart, Draw.io, or any other ER diagram software to visually map out your entities, their attributes, and relationships. Be sure to indicate cardinality (e.g., one-to-many, many-to-many) between the entities.
    5. Provide Explanations: Along with your diagram, write a brief explanation of each entity, attribute, and relationship. Explain how each entity functions in your business model and why the relationships are structured the way they are.
    Notes:

    Use the attached document as an example or reference (doesn’t have to be the same exact thing and please use different data not the same example i provided also this is an extended example you can have less tables)

  • R Programming L7

    R Programming PCA and TSNE

    For this assignment you will write an R program to complete the tasks given below. You will hand in two files for this assignment.

    • A File with your R program. This file should contain only the code (no output) and must have the typical r extension. No other file extensions will be accepted. The reason is that the assignment be graded based on your R code and not the output file. The output file will be used to verify the code commands. Also, please make sure that all comments, discussion, and conclusions regarding results are also annotated as part of your code.
    • A PDF/DOC file with your output code. We are giving you more flexibility regarding how you want to present your output (tables, plots, etc.). You can either use RMD files that combine code, narrative txt, and plots or you can use word document with copy and paste from the R platform you are using. However, please remember that all output (tables, plots, comments, conclusions, etc.) shown in this file has to be generated by the same R code that you submit. This is important! Output shown that is generated using a separate code or output shown that is not supported by the submitted code will not be graded. Screenshots will not be accepted.

    Use the following file

  • R Data Set: HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv (in the zip file attached).
  • The Data Dictionary in the zip file.
  • Note: The HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv file is a simple scrubbed file from the previous week homework. If you did more advanced scrubbing of data for last week, you may use your own data file instead. You might get better accuracy! If you decide to use your own version of HMEQ_Scrubbed.csv, please hand it in along with the other deliverables.

    This assignment is an extension of the Week 6 assignment. The difference is that this assignment will now incorporate PCA and tSNE analysis.

    Step 1: Use the Decision Tree / Random Forest / Decision Tree / Regression code from Week 6 as a Starting Point

    In this assignment, we will not be doing all the analysis as before. But much of the code from week 6 can be used as a starting point for this assignment. For this assignment, do not be concerned with splitting data into training and test sets. In the real world, you would do that. But for this exercise, it would only be an unnecessary complication.

    Step 2: PCA Analysis

    • Use only the input variables. Do not use either of the target variables.
    • Use only the continuous variables. Do not use any of the flag variables.
    • Do a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the continuous variables.
    • Display the Scree Plot of the PCA analysis.
    • Using the Scree Plot, determine how many Principal Components you wish to use. Note, you must use at least two. You may decide to use more. Justify your decision. Note that there is no wrong answer. You will be graded on your reasoning, not your decision.
    • Print the weights of the Principal Components. Use the weights to tell a story on what the Principal Components represent.
    • Perform a scatter plot using the first two Principal Components. Color the scatter plot dots using the Target Flag. One color will represent “defaults” and the other color will represent “non defaults”. Comment on whether you consider the first two Principal Components to be predictive. If you believe the graph is too cluttered, you are free to do a random sample of the data to make it more readable. That is up to you.

    Step 3: tSNE Analysis

    • Use only the input variables. Do not use either of the target variables.
    • Use only the continuous variables. Do not use any of the flag variables.
    • Do a tSNE analysis on the data. Set the dimensions to 2.
    • Run two tSNE analysis for Perplexity=30. Color the scatter plot dots using the Target Flag. One color will represent “defaults” and the other color will represent “non defaults”. Comment on whether you consider the tSNE values to be predictive.
    • Repeat the previous step with a Perplexity greater than 30 (try to get a value much higher than 30).
    • Repeat the previous step with a Perplexity less than 30 (try to get a value much lower than 30).
    • Decide on which value of Perplexity best predicts the Target Flag.
    • Train two Random Forest Models to predict each of the tSNE values.

    Step 4: Tree and Regression Analysis on the Original Data

    • Create a Decision Tree to predict Loan Default (Target Flag=1). Comment on the variables that were included in the model.
    • Create a Logistic Regression model to predict Loan Default (Target Flag=1). Use either Forward, Backward, or Stepwise variable selection. Comment on the variables that were included in the model.
    • Create a ROC curve showing the accuracy of the model.
    • Calculate and display the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC).

    Step 5: Tree and Regression Analysis on the PCA/tSNE Data

    • Append the Principal Component values from Step 2 to your data set.
    • Using the Random Forest models from Step 3, append the two tSNE values to the data set.
    • Remove all of the continuous variables from the data set (set them to NULL). Keep the flag variables in the data set.
    • Create a Decision Tree to predict Loan Default (Target Flag=1). Comment on the variables that were included in the model. Did any of the Principal Components or tSNE values make it into the model? Discuss why or why not.
    • Create a Logistic Regression model to predict Loan Default (Target Flag=1). Use either Forward, Backward, or Stepwise variable selection. Comment on the variables that were included in the model. Did any of the Principal Components or tSNE values make it into the model? Discuss why or why not.
    • Create a ROC curve showing the accuracy of the model.
    • Calculate and display the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC).

    Step 6: Comment

    • Discuss how the PCA / tSNE values performed when compared to the original data set.

    Essential Activities:

    1. Watch all the training videos
    2. Execute the example code while watching the training videos.

  • Computer Science Question

    You must go to at least 1 concert (and must stay for the WHOLE concert) and write a minimum of 1 complete page
    but up to 3 pages (typed, single-spaced, 12-point font, minimum of 450 words) report about your experience and
    observations, including some elements of music discussed in class (ex. instruments/voices, elements of music,
    historical era of music, style, etc.).

    Yes, you can do research but primarily I am not interested in what Google has to say about the music heard at the concert, I am interested in your observations and opinions. If you choose to use any outside resources for research or choose to watch a virtual concert, please make sure to cite your sources (I dont care what bibliographic style
    you use but please at least make sure to include the links to the sources used). Your paper will be submitted with
    a plagiarism detector, plus I can always just tell if you are copying and pasting. The use of AI should be kept to a
    bare MINIMUM (less than approximately 15% of your paper). If you do use any AI, please cite at the end of your
    paper in this format: I used [insert AI system(s) and link] to [specific use of generative artificial intelligence and
    describe content used in task]. The output from this tool was modified by [explain use]. Your paper will be
    scanned by an AI detector, although it is also usually just as easily noticeable like copying and pasting. You may
    use AI for proofreading or editing services (Grammarly, for instance), and if you do please include a notice to the
    instructor if you used AI proofreading services, something like (note: Grammarly was used to edit this submission).

    You may go to a concert in person, or you may choose a virtual option (see options below). Make sure to cite
    your video in your paper if you choose an online concert.
