The document describes using College Scorecard data to predict the ratio of median earnings six years after attending college to median student debt. It discusses data processing steps like removing variables with over 15% missing data and imputing remaining missing values. A random forest model was ultimately used, which uses a subset of predictors for each tree and handles interactions well. The random forest had an R-squared of 0.75 on the test set, with the large amount of missing data in the original data limiting model performance.
166 - ISBSG variables most frequently used for software effort estimation: A ...ESEM 2014
Background: The International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset makes it possible to estimate a project’s size, effort, duration, and cost.
Aim: The aim was to analyze the ISBSG variables that have been used by researchers for software effort estimation from 2000, when the first papers were published, until the end of 2013.
Method: A systematic mapping review was applied to over 167 papers obtained after the filtering process. From these, it was found that 133 papers produce effort estimation and only 107 list the independent variables used in the effort estimation models.
Results: Seventy-one out of 118 ISBSG variables have been used at least once. There is a group of 20 variables that appear in more than 50% of the papers and include Functional Size (62%), Development Type (58%), Language Type (53%), and Development Platform (52%) following ISBSG recommendations. Sizing and Size attributes altogether represent the most relevant group along with Project attributes that includes 24 technical features of the project and the development platform. All in all, variables that have more missing values are used less frequently.
Conclusions: This work presents a snapshot of the existing usage of ISBSG variables in software development estimation. Moreover, some insights are provided to guide future studies.

Effect of Temporal Collaboration Network, Maintenance Activity, and Experienc...ESEM 2014
Context: Number of defects fixed in a given month is used as an input for several project management decisions such as release time, maintenance effort estimation and software quality assessment. Past activity of developers and testers may help us understand the future number of reported defects. Goal: To find a simple and easy to implement solution, predicting defect exposure. Method: We propose a temporal collaboration network model that uses the history of collaboration among developers, testers, and other issue originators to estimate the defect exposure for the next month. Results: Our empirical results show that temporal collaboration model could be used to predict the number of exposed defects in the next month with R2 values of 0.73. We also show that temporality gives a more realistic picture of collaboration network compared to a static one. Conclusions: We believe that our novel approach may be used to better plan for the upcoming releases, helping managers to make evidence based decisions

GDG Cloud Community Day 2022 - Managing data quality in Machine LearningSARADINDU SENGUPTA
In the current scenario where every ML system requires a ton of data to train, changes in the data during model refreshment or even during production will cause a performance drop, sometimes quite significantly. It has become a tremendously important task in the ML system lifecycle to periodically check quality issues in the data stream itself. There are existing libraries, open-source tools or full-fledged SaaS platforms to monitor those data quality metrics but the metric used oftentimes becomes too generic and might not be useful at all.
There are simple data quality metrics, which can be developed individually and can be integrated with data quality tools/SaaS platforms to monitor them in production. In this talk, I will go through a couple of metrics for different types of data and use cases and how to use clustering and other unsupervised learning algorithms to build those metrics at the end will also try to show a demo with integrations and how it can be run in production.
Production-Ready BIG ML Workflows - from zero to heroDaniel Marcous
Data science isn't an easy task to pull of.
You start with exploring data and experimenting with models.
Finally, you find some amazing insight!
What now?
How do you transform a little experiment to a production ready workflow? Better yet, how do you scale it from a small sample in R/Python to TBs of production data?
Building a BIG ML Workflow - from zero to hero, is about the work process you need to take in order to have a production ready workflow up and running.
Covering :
* Small - Medium experimentation (R)
* Big data implementation (Spark Mllib /+ pipeline)
* Setting Metrics and checks in place
* Ad hoc querying and exploring your results (Zeppelin)
* Pain points & Lessons learned the hard way (is there any other way?)

Supercharge your AB testing with automated causal inference - Community Works...Egor Kraev
An A/B test consists of splitting the customers into a test and a control group, and choosing a large enough sample size to observe the average treatment effect (ATE) we are interested in, in spite of all the other factors driving outcome variance. With causal inference models, we can do better than that, by estimating the effect conditional on customer features (CATE), thus turning customer variability from noise to be averaged over to a valuable source of segmentation, and potentially requiring smaller sample sizes as a result. Unfortunately, there are many different models available for estimating CATE, with many parameters to tune and very different performance. In this talk, we will present our auto-causality library, which combines the three marvelous packages from Microsoft – DoWhy, EconML, and FLAML – to do fully automated selection and tuning of causal models based on out-of-sample performance, just like any other AutoML package does. We will describe the projects inside Wise currently starting to apply it, and present results on comparative model performance and out-of-sample segmentation on Wise CRM data.

New Explore Careers and College Majors 2024.pdfDr. Mary Askew
Explore Careers and College Majors is a new online, interactive, self-guided career, major and college planning system.
The career system works on all devices!

2. Data Description
College Scorecard data: https://www.kaggle.com/kaggle/college-scorecard
● Data collected from 1996 - 2013
● 2009 dataset chosen for completeness and recency
● 7149 observations / 1484 features
● Each observation corresponds to a unique College
● Features related to demographics, cost of attendance, proportion of students
receiving financial aid, earnings multiple years after matriculation, etc
3. Data Description
● Lots of missing data!
● Some information not reported by specific Colleges
● Some information suppressed for privacy
4. Data Processing
● Variables with >15% of observations missing were removed
● Response variable created as a ratio of median earnings six years after
matriculation vs. median debt
● For each variable, missing values were replaced with the median of non-missing
values
● Highly correlated and low variance variables were removed
6. Analysis
● Originally we intended to use data from 2009 to predict earnings to debt ratio for
2011
● Predictors with low amounts of missing values in 2009 had large amounts of
missing values in 2011, and vice versa
● Final data consisted of 5130 observations and 223 predictors
● 2009 data split into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets
7. Methodology
Linear Model:
● Poor performance (negative predicted ratios)
Lasso:
● Exploratory lasso model selected ~120-130 variables for various iterations
● Models resulted in MSE of ~0.45 (R2 ~0.65)
Principal Component Analysis
● No single predictor explained a significant percentage of variance
8. Random Forest Explained
● Ensemble learning method that aggregates regression trees
● A subset of the total predictors is used to build each tree
● + Handles large numbers of variable without deletion
● + Runs efficiently on large data sets
● + Inherent treating of interactions between variables
● - Loss of interpretability
12. Conclusion
● Missing data provided greatest challenge to building an accurate model
● Data was decidedly unclean - redundant variables, missing factor levels, etc
● Significant amount of data processing required (~¾ of time spent)
● Imputing missing data with median values increased model performance
● The large amount of missing data likely sets an upper bound on the performance
of this model, but more data processing, feature engineering, and additional
tuning of parameters could result in more robust performance.
