FIN 340 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
As an investor for yourself or your clients, you have the job of developing investment objectives and a plan to achieve those objectives and then make
subsequent investments in appropriate assets accordingly. This process can be collectively termed “the investment process.” It is helpful to break the process
down into the four core concepts that underpin any sound investment process.
First, you must understand what you are investing in. You have to know the underlying characteristics of the investment. What type of asset is it? What type of
security? How is it priced? What are the expected cash flows? Who are the typical investors and what are their typical motives? If you do not underst ...

OL 325 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Section 2: External Competitiveness
Section 2 shifts your focus outside the company to compare pay rates of positions inside the firm with similar positions in the external market place. The shift to
outside the company will move you away from the previous focus on e-sonic’s internal consistency to external competitiveness. Conducting an analysis of
external market data will support your decisions about appropriate pay-policy mixes for job structures in the company.
In section 2 of Milestone Three, you will be introduced to tools compensation professionals use to allocate total compensation within job structures. Total
compensation includes base pay, benefits, and varied incentives used to attract and retain employees. During the simulation you will use some of these tools to
develop pay policies for each e-sonic job structure.
In order to conduct your external market survey you will use web-based salary sites developed by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and Glassdoor.com. These
websites develop salary information based off of actual pay data from professionals working in specific jobs and potentially represent the most current pay for
the job titles at e-sonic. Follow the steps outlined below:
Section 2 Outline:
Executive Summary Findings
1. Determine Appropriate Pay-Policy Levels for E-sonic Jobs
2. External Market Review
a) Research market competitiveness using the free salary websites listed above, which provide salary data by title and region.
b) Research trends about cost of living adjustments in e-sonic locations. Apply some discussion around leading, lagging or matching the market to
the salary data you found in your market salary research. Assume that the salary research you are using is similar to benchmark jobs. Also,
discuss whether jobs you researched would match the benchmark jobs or require more or less experience and talent than the benchmark job.
c) Update salary data for inflation using CPI-U.
3. Implement Salary Survey Results
a) Create pay grades and ranges by integrating external market data with internal pay grades.
b) Evaluate and summarize decisions made for each job structure.
The External Competitiveness section is fully described in the MyManagementLab Building Strategic Compensation Systems casebook for faculty and students,
linked in the course menu. Follow the explanations and outline to complete this milestone. Section 2: External Marketplace is due at the end of Module Six.

Lesson 3
Section 3: Once again there are questions listed for each of the chapters in this section.
Respond to them fully after stating the questions.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 1
The five steps for classical decision making are found on page 169, and the definition is on
page 171. In a risk environment or an uncertain environment, it may be very difficult to follow
these steps. How can a risk environment or an uncertain environment affect this process?
What is the difference between a risk environment and an uncertain environment?
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 2
In the text, there is a discussion of framing errors, confirmation errors, escalating
commitment, availability bias, representativeness bias, anchoring bias, and adjustment bias.
Briefly define each of these errors and biases and provide an example of each one (not the one
in the text). These are particularly important since they are found in all levels of an
organization.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 3
Managers are often confronted with structured problems which require programmed
decisions, and unstructured problems which require non-programmed decisions. Serious
problems may require a crisis decision which is the most serious type of non-programmed
decision.
Provide an example of a programmed and non-programmed decision which you have
encountered in your own experience. How do you determine whether a decision is really a
programmed decision, or whether it actually requires a unique solution? When should senior
management become involved?
(Many programmed decisions are just that today. In retail they may be built into the computer
system, and made at the cash register – such as returns, returns with or without receipts, or
information available regarding a customer’s past transactions!)
Section 3: Chapter 8: Question 1
Organizations should have a mission statement, a strategic plan, organizational plans,
tactical plans, goals and objectives. Which of these should primarily be developed by directors
and senior management, middle management, and supervisors and other first level
management personnel? How can these plans be best aligned in order to clearly involve all
levels of management in these goals?

Week 4 Assignment-Fair Value
DUE DATE: Sunday midnight of Week 4, submitted in a MS Word (or Excel if
computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. The Fair Value requirement has been blamed by some for the credit market crunch that
started in 2007, worsened in 2008 and continues into 2009. Discuss what effect you
think Fair Value had on financial institutions and why some believe that it precipitated
the current economic recession. Do you agree or disagree that Fair Value caused the
collapse of the mortgage and lending markets? There are a number of good articles and
links to help you with this such as the article in the Web Links page from the January 20,
2009 Boston Globe about the impact on State Street Corporation’s capital from
potentially having to permanently write down the value of assets (it will help you
understand how marking down the value of assets impacts the banks’ capital, and how in
turn, this impacts their ability to lend). Also, the JOA May 2008 3 Articles with view pro
and con about Fair Value vs. Historic Cost. There are a number of other readings to help
with this topic or you may gather your own-please share them if you would on the student
section of the Web Links page.
2. You are the CFO of a publicly traded company and are getting ready to prepare you year-
end financial statements. In your investment portfolio you have:
a. Long-term bank CD’s
b. Stock holdings in 5 publicly traded companies
c. Stock holdings in 2 privately held companies
d. Investment in a real estate trust (REIT) which owns strip malls and other
commercial buildings for retail establishments. This trust trades on a market
with other similar trusts, although the trades are infrequent. Take into account
the current real estate market when evaluating this investment.
e. Private equity investment in a joint venture for the development of a new
green energy method to produce electricity.
f. Complex foreign currency hedges that were custom-designed by an
investment bank for the company, to hedge their exchange rate exposure on
overseas transactions.
What level for evaluation would each fall into and what method(s) would you use to
determine the fair value of each? How easy or difficult would each be and why? The Nov
16, 2008 Financial Week Article on the Web Links page about Illiquid Bank Assets may
help with this question.
3. Find the financial statements of a publicly traded company that has measured assets
and/or liabilities at fair value. You will find this information in the footnotes (just open
up the document and search the page with either Fair Value or FAS 157 as a key word).
What financial ratios (name at least 2) could be affected by the difference between
measuring these assets at historic cost vs. fair val.

Now that you have completed your analysis, think about the patterns you have seen in the workforce.
In this final section, you will answer five questions and write a short essay.
1. From the created histogram, it appears that a large share of employees have a salary between $61,000–$110,000 or $131,000–$170,000. This may indicate a reasonable promotion rate for new and seasoned employees. Is this distribution unimodal or bimodal? Please explain.
2. The line chart, as detailed in your "Graph Charts" Excel spreadsheet, shows sales generally increasing over the years, although sales in the first two years were notably lower. Assuming that the sales are linear, please use the Forecast tool to find projected sales for 2020 thru 2024. Hint: An easy way to do this is to highlight the sales from the data page and apply the Forecast tool to this data or use the forecast function in excel. You will generate a chart on a new sheet with projected sales; rename this sheet "Projected Sales".
3. The standard deviation provides insight into the distribution of values around the mean. If the standard deviation is small, in general, the more narrow the range between the lowest and highest value. That is, values will cluster close to the mean. From your descriptive statistics, describe your standard deviations of Salary, Hryly Rate, Yrs Worked, Education, and Age. What does this tell you about the variables?
4. The company has a keen interest in the educational, race, and gender makeup of its workforce. Its emphasis is on a diverse, dynamic workforce. From your "Graph Charts" spreadsheet, describe your pie chart findings for these characteristics of the workforce. Describe how you would determine if the company was meeting expectations on these characteristics.
5. The company is conducting an analysis on how many positions to create to keep up with demand. Specifically, it wants to know an estimate of the number of positions per job title. From your Excel chart, identify the mode of the job title distribution. Describe your findings.
FINAL ESSAY:
Now that you have done all the work with data, you will write a short three- to four-paragraph summary of your analysis. This is important. While you have done a wonderful job with your analysis, you can never assume that the end user will be able to interpret the data the way it should be understood. Supporting narrative is helpful. Never simply provide a "raw data" dump. Instead, seek to provide information!
Structure your essay like this:
a. Write a one-paragraph narrative summary of your findings, describing patterns of interest.
b. Provide an explanation of the potential relevance of such patterns.
c. Provide a description of how you would investigate further to determine if your results are "good or bad" for the company.
Prepare your response in this workbook. (Simply expand this text box to accommodate your essay and other answers, or you can copy .
S3 classes and s4 classes
S3 and S4 classes are two approaches to defining classes and objects in R. S3 classes are simpler and more prevalent, where a class is defined by adding a "class" attribute to a list. S4 classes have a formal definition using setClass() and require objects to be created with new(), providing more structure. Methods can be written for both by defining functions for generic functions like print() and show(). Reference classes build on S4 by adding an environment to benefit from object-oriented programming principles.
Summerization notes for descriptive statistics using r
This document describes how to perform descriptive statistics and data visualization using R programming. It discusses importing data, computing measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, IQR, variance, standard deviation), summarizing data frames, and graphical displays including box plots, histograms, ECDFs, and Q-Q plots. It also covers computing descriptive statistics by groups using the dplyr package functions group_by() and summarise().
Rpy2 demonstration
This document demonstrates how to use Rpy2 packages in Python to run R functions and packages. It shows how to install and load Rpy2 and related packages like IPython. Then it provides examples of using Rpy2 to create basic plots using R's graphics package and more advanced plots using GGPLOT2. The examples include creating a bar plot and scatter plot using built-in R datasets.
Rpy package
Rpy2 is a Python package that allows users to run R code and access R's statistical capabilities from within Python. It enables running R functions to perform data analysis and visualization. The document discusses how to install rpy2 using pip, use rpy2 to load R packages like afex and emmeans for analysis, and display R plots in Python. The last section provides a link to an exploratory exercise for further analysis using R in Python.
R programming lab 3 - jupyter notebook
This document contains a series of R programming lab exercises involving calculations with vectors and factors. The exercises include: 1) Calculating interest earned on an investment over 5 years at 3% annual interest, 2) Calculating the area of a circle with radius 7 cm, 3) Creating various vectors using repetition and sequencing functions like rep() and seq(). The final exercise involves creating a color vector by repeating and sequencing colors from the more.colors vector.
R programming lab 2 - jupyter notebook
This document outlines tasks and questions for an R programming lab demonstrating data structures, importing/exporting data, and programming concepts in R. The tasks include: creating lists and data frames; importing data from different file formats; exploring data type conversions between structures; using functions; and using control flow structures like if/else, for loops, and while loops. Questions prompt students to create complex data structures, import data, perform type conversions between structures, define and call functions, and use control flow structures to iterate and make conditional checks on data.
R programming lab 1 - jupyter notebook
1. The document outlines tasks to be performed in an R programming lab experiment including exploring assignment operators, creating vectors and matrices, performing operations on matrices, creating arrays, selecting and extracting elements, and exploring logical operators.
2. Matrices and vectors are created using functions like matrix(), c(), seq(), and rep(). Operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are demonstrated on matrices and vectors.
3. Elements are selected and extracted from matrices and arrays using indexing and functions like ncol(), nrow(), length(), and dim(). Logical operators like &, |, ! are also explored.
4. The document shows how to remove elements from selected positions in a matrix.
R for statistics session 1
Descriptive statistics are used to summarize data in a way that provides insight. There are different types of descriptive statistics appropriate for different data types. For interval/ratio data like workshop attendance numbers, common statistics used to describe location include the mean and median averages. The mean is the sum of all values divided by the count, while the median is the middle value with half of the observations above and below it. Variation can be described using the standard deviation or range, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value. Together these statistics provide a summary of the key features of interval/ratio dataset.
R for statistics 2
This document discusses various statistical measures used to analyze and summarize interval/ratio data, including standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and five-number summaries. It explains that standard deviation measures how close observations are to the mean, while standard error estimates how close the sample mean is to the population mean. The five-number summary (minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum) provides information about the variation in skewed or ordinal data by indicating what percentages of values fall below or above certain points. Percentiles such as quartiles are relatively robust to outliers compared to measures like the mean or standard deviation.
Play with matrix in r
1. The document describes an experiment using the R programming language to perform matrix operations. It involves creating matrices A and B, taking the inverse and transpose of A, multiplying A and B, estimating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A, and finding the root of a function within an interval.
2. Key steps include using the matrix() function to create matrices A and B, using inv() and t() functions to take the inverse and transpose of A, multiplying the matrices with A * B, using the eigen() function to estimate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A, and using the uniroot() function to find the root of a function between 0 and 8.
3. The document shows the code used to perform each
Object oriented programming in r
R has three object-oriented systems: S3, S4, and reference classes. S3 and S4 are older systems, while reference classes are more modern. Object-oriented programming involves classes and objects. A class acts as a blueprint that describes the attributes and behaviors of an object. Methods are functions associated with a class that represent the behaviors of objects. Constructors are special methods used to create objects from a class by specifying attribute values. Subclasses inherit all the attributes and methods of their parent superclass and can define additional attributes and methods.
Linear programming optimization in r
This document discusses linear programming problems and how to solve them using the R programming language. It provides an overview of linear programming and its applications. It also explains how to formulate a linear programming problem mathematically by defining an objective function that is linear in the decision variables, along with linear inequality constraints and non-negativity restrictions on the variables. The document then demonstrates how to solve a linear programming problem in R using the lpSolve package.
Introduction to python along with the comparitive analysis with r
This document provides an overview of R and Python for data science. It discusses that Python has become popular for data processing due to its object-oriented nature, packages like pandas and NumPy, and ease of use. R is widely used for statistical computing due to its specialized packages. The reticulate package allows R to interface with Python by importing Python modules and calling Python functions from R. It enables specifying a Python version and importing Python modules, sourcing Python scripts, and executing Python code from within R.

Lesson 3
Section 3: Once again there are questions listed for each of the chapters in this section.
Respond to them fully after stating the questions.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 1
The five steps for classical decision making are found on page 169, and the definition is on
page 171. In a risk environment or an uncertain environment, it may be very difficult to follow
these steps. How can a risk environment or an uncertain environment affect this process?
What is the difference between a risk environment and an uncertain environment?
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 2
In the text, there is a discussion of framing errors, confirmation errors, escalating
commitment, availability bias, representativeness bias, anchoring bias, and adjustment bias.
Briefly define each of these errors and biases and provide an example of each one (not the one
in the text). These are particularly important since they are found in all levels of an
organization.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 3
Managers are often confronted with structured problems which require programmed
decisions, and unstructured problems which require non-programmed decisions. Serious
problems may require a crisis decision which is the most serious type of non-programmed
decision.
Provide an example of a programmed and non-programmed decision which you have
encountered in your own experience. How do you determine whether a decision is really a
programmed decision, or whether it actually requires a unique solution? When should senior
management become involved?
(Many programmed decisions are just that today. In retail they may be built into the computer
system, and made at the cash register – such as returns, returns with or without receipts, or
information available regarding a customer’s past transactions!)
Section 3: Chapter 8: Question 1
Organizations should have a mission statement, a strategic plan, organizational plans,
tactical plans, goals and objectives. Which of these should primarily be developed by directors
and senior management, middle management, and supervisors and other first level
management personnel? How can these plans be best aligned in order to clearly involve all
levels of management in these goals?

Week 4 Assignment-Fair Value
DUE DATE: Sunday midnight of Week 4, submitted in a MS Word (or Excel if
computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. The Fair Value requirement has been blamed by some for the credit market crunch that
started in 2007, worsened in 2008 and continues into 2009. Discuss what effect you
think Fair Value had on financial institutions and why some believe that it precipitated
the current economic recession. Do you agree or disagree that Fair Value caused the
collapse of the mortgage and lending markets? There are a number of good articles and
links to help you with this such as the article in the Web Links page from the January 20,
2009 Boston Globe about the impact on State Street Corporation’s capital from
potentially having to permanently write down the value of assets (it will help you
understand how marking down the value of assets impacts the banks’ capital, and how in
turn, this impacts their ability to lend). Also, the JOA May 2008 3 Articles with view pro
and con about Fair Value vs. Historic Cost. There are a number of other readings to help
with this topic or you may gather your own-please share them if you would on the student
section of the Web Links page.
2. You are the CFO of a publicly traded company and are getting ready to prepare you year-
end financial statements. In your investment portfolio you have:
a. Long-term bank CD’s
b. Stock holdings in 5 publicly traded companies
c. Stock holdings in 2 privately held companies
d. Investment in a real estate trust (REIT) which owns strip malls and other
commercial buildings for retail establishments. This trust trades on a market
with other similar trusts, although the trades are infrequent. Take into account
the current real estate market when evaluating this investment.
e. Private equity investment in a joint venture for the development of a new
green energy method to produce electricity.
f. Complex foreign currency hedges that were custom-designed by an
investment bank for the company, to hedge their exchange rate exposure on
overseas transactions.
What level for evaluation would each fall into and what method(s) would you use to
determine the fair value of each? How easy or difficult would each be and why? The Nov
16, 2008 Financial Week Article on the Web Links page about Illiquid Bank Assets may
help with this question.
3. Find the financial statements of a publicly traded company that has measured assets
and/or liabilities at fair value. You will find this information in the footnotes (just open
up the document and search the page with either Fair Value or FAS 157 as a key word).
What financial ratios (name at least 2) could be affected by the difference between
measuring these assets at historic cost vs. fair val.

Now that you have completed your analysis, think about the patterns you have seen in the workforce.
In this final section, you will answer five questions and write a short essay.
1. From the created histogram, it appears that a large share of employees have a salary between $61,000–$110,000 or $131,000–$170,000. This may indicate a reasonable promotion rate for new and seasoned employees. Is this distribution unimodal or bimodal? Please explain.
2. The line chart, as detailed in your "Graph Charts" Excel spreadsheet, shows sales generally increasing over the years, although sales in the first two years were notably lower. Assuming that the sales are linear, please use the Forecast tool to find projected sales for 2020 thru 2024. Hint: An easy way to do this is to highlight the sales from the data page and apply the Forecast tool to this data or use the forecast function in excel. You will generate a chart on a new sheet with projected sales; rename this sheet "Projected Sales".
3. The standard deviation provides insight into the distribution of values around the mean. If the standard deviation is small, in general, the more narrow the range between the lowest and highest value. That is, values will cluster close to the mean. From your descriptive statistics, describe your standard deviations of Salary, Hryly Rate, Yrs Worked, Education, and Age. What does this tell you about the variables?
4. The company has a keen interest in the educational, race, and gender makeup of its workforce. Its emphasis is on a diverse, dynamic workforce. From your "Graph Charts" spreadsheet, describe your pie chart findings for these characteristics of the workforce. Describe how you would determine if the company was meeting expectations on these characteristics.
5. The company is conducting an analysis on how many positions to create to keep up with demand. Specifically, it wants to know an estimate of the number of positions per job title. From your Excel chart, identify the mode of the job title distribution. Describe your findings.
FINAL ESSAY:
Now that you have done all the work with data, you will write a short three- to four-paragraph summary of your analysis. This is important. While you have done a wonderful job with your analysis, you can never assume that the end user will be able to interpret the data the way it should be understood. Supporting narrative is helpful. Never simply provide a "raw data" dump. Instead, seek to provide information!
Structure your essay like this:
a. Write a one-paragraph narrative summary of your findings, describing patterns of interest.
b. Provide an explanation of the potential relevance of such patterns.
c. Provide a description of how you would investigate further to determine if your results are "good or bad" for the company.
Prepare your response in this workbook. (Simply expand this text box to accommodate your essay and other answers, or you can copy .

S3 classes and s4 classes
S3 and S4 classes are two approaches to defining classes and objects in R. S3 classes are simpler and more prevalent, where a class is defined by adding a "class" attribute to a list. S4 classes have a formal definition using setClass() and require objects to be created with new(), providing more structure. Methods can be written for both by defining functions for generic functions like print() and show(). Reference classes build on S4 by adding an environment to benefit from object-oriented programming principles.
Summerization notes for descriptive statistics using r
This document describes how to perform descriptive statistics and data visualization using R programming. It discusses importing data, computing measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, IQR, variance, standard deviation), summarizing data frames, and graphical displays including box plots, histograms, ECDFs, and Q-Q plots. It also covers computing descriptive statistics by groups using the dplyr package functions group_by() and summarise().

4. The document shows how to remove elements from selected positions in a matrix.
R for statistics session 1
Descriptive statistics are used to summarize data in a way that provides insight. There are different types of descriptive statistics appropriate for different data types. For interval/ratio data like workshop attendance numbers, common statistics used to describe location include the mean and median averages. The mean is the sum of all values divided by the count, while the median is the middle value with half of the observations above and below it. Variation can be described using the standard deviation or range, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value. Together these statistics provide a summary of the key features of interval/ratio dataset.
R for statistics 2
This document discusses various statistical measures used to analyze and summarize interval/ratio data, including standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and five-number summaries. It explains that standard deviation measures how close observations are to the mean, while standard error estimates how close the sample mean is to the population mean. The five-number summary (minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum) provides information about the variation in skewed or ordinal data by indicating what percentages of values fall below or above certain points. Percentiles such as quartiles are relatively robust to outliers compared to measures like the mean or standard deviation.
Play with matrix in r
1. The document describes an experiment using the R programming language to perform matrix operations. It involves creating matrices A and B, taking the inverse and transpose of A, multiplying A and B, estimating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A, and finding the root of a function within an interval.
2. Key steps include using the matrix() function to create matrices A and B, using inv() and t() functions to take the inverse and transpose of A, multiplying the matrices with A * B, using the eigen() function to estimate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A, and using the uniroot() function to find the root of a function between 0 and 8.
3. The document shows the code used to perform each
Object oriented programming in r
R has three object-oriented systems: S3, S4, and reference classes. S3 and S4 are older systems, while reference classes are more modern. Object-oriented programming involves classes and objects. A class acts as a blueprint that describes the attributes and behaviors of an object. Methods are functions associated with a class that represent the behaviors of objects. Constructors are special methods used to create objects from a class by specifying attribute values. Subclasses inherit all the attributes and methods of their parent superclass and can define additional attributes and methods.
Linear programming optimization in r
This document discusses linear programming problems and how to solve them using the R programming language. It provides an overview of linear programming and its applications. It also explains how to formulate a linear programming problem mathematically by defining an objective function that is linear in the decision variables, along with linear inequality constraints and non-negativity restrictions on the variables. The document then demonstrates how to solve a linear programming problem in R using the lpSolve package.
Introduction to python along with the comparitive analysis with r
This document provides an overview of R and Python for data science. It discusses that Python has become popular for data processing due to its object-oriented nature, packages like pandas and NumPy, and ease of use. R is widely used for statistical computing due to its specialized packages. The reticulate package allows R to interface with Python by importing Python modules and calling Python functions from R. It enables specifying a Python version and importing Python modules, sourcing Python scripts, and executing Python code from within R.
Example 2 summerization notes for descriptive statistics using r
This document describes how to generate frequency tables and distributions in R to summarize categorical data. It discusses:
1. Creating simple frequency tables using the table() function to show counts of one or two categorical variables.
2. Generating two-way contingency tables using table() or xtabs() to examine relationships between two categorical variables.
3. Computing table margins with margin.table() and relative frequencies with prop.table() or converting tables to percentages.
Descriptive analytics in r programming language
The document discusses experiments involving R programming code and analysis of built-in data sets. It includes questions about manipulating gender data, evaluating mathematical expressions, creating a data frame, generating Fibonacci sequences with different starting values, analyzing solar radiation data through plotting and statistics, and using the built-in mtcars data set to explore plotting options in ggplot2. Code solutions are provided for each question to demonstrate the requested data manipulations and analyses.
Data analysis for covid 19
The document loads COVID-19 testing data from India and performs several analyses and visualizations. It removes missing values from the dataset. Total testing samples are calculated to be 796,152 with 34,533 positive cases. Various plots are generated to visualize total samples by state, positive cases by state and date, and trends over time.
Correlation and linear regression
- The document discusses computing correlations between variables in R and interpreting the results.
- It provides an example of calculating the correlation between happiness and other life factors like friends and salary.
- The document uses real data from the World Happiness Report to explore correlations between variables like freedom to make life choices and confidence in national government. It finds a positive correlation between these two variables.
Calling c functions from r programming unit 5
This document discusses calling C functions from R programming language. It notes that R is slow for iterative algorithms and large datasets, so calling high-performance C functions improves R's performance. It describes three functions - .C, .Call, and .External - that provide the link between C and R. It also outlines the steps to create, compile, and dynamically load a C function for use in R: writing the C function with a void return type and no return values other than arguments, compiling the C code into a shared object file using R CMD SHLIB, and loading the shared object file into an active R session using dyn.load() to make the C functions available to call from R.
Anova (analysis of variance) test
This document discusses analysis of variance (ANOVA) and provides examples of its use. It begins by defining ANOVA as a statistical method used to test differences between two or more means. ANOVA assesses whether population means are equal (the null hypothesis) or if at least one is different (the alternative hypothesis). The document then discusses the assumptions, types (one-way and two-way), and examples of ANOVA. It concludes by outlining a demonstration of an ANOVA test using R to analyze differences in mileage between four car tire brands.

Telemetry Solution for Gaming (AWS Summit'24)
Discover the cutting-edge telemetry solution implemented for Alan Wake 2 by Remedy Entertainment in collaboration with AWS. This comprehensive presentation dives into our objectives, detailing how we utilized advanced analytics to drive gameplay improvements and player engagement.
Key highlights include:
Primary Goals: Implementing gameplay and technical telemetry to capture detailed player behavior and game performance data, fostering data-driven decision-making.
Tech Stack: Leveraging AWS services such as EKS for hosting, WAF for security, Karpenter for instance optimization, S3 for data storage, and OpenTelemetry Collector for data collection. EventBridge and Lambda were used for data compression, while Glue ETL and Athena facilitated data transformation and preparation.
Data Utilization: Transforming raw data into actionable insights with technologies like Glue ETL (PySpark scripts), Glue Crawler, and Athena, culminating in detailed visualizations with Tableau.
Achievements: Successfully managing 700 million to 1 billion events per month at a cost-effective rate, with significant savings compared to commercial solutions. This approach has enabled simplified scaling and substantial improvements in game design, reducing player churn through targeted adjustments.
Community Engagement: Enhanced ability to engage with player communities by leveraging precise data insights, despite having a small community management team.
This presentation is an invaluable resource for professionals in game development, data analytics, and cloud computing, offering insights into how telemetry and analytics can revolutionize player experience and game performance optimization.
