DAT 565 Wk 1 - Introduction and Understanding of Data Analysis and Analytics The individual assignments in this course will build into a final report and presentation for a target organization. The purpose of this assignment is to introduce the student to basic concepts in Data Analysis and Data Analytics (Data Science). Students will analyze data to make business decisions. When exploring organizations for use in the Week 1 assignment, consider the use of one of the organizations in the Week 5 and 6 assignments. Keep in mind the availability of data that can be loaded into SAS® Visual Analytics for data analysis (i.e. choose a company that has data available). You may also consider an organization or market where sample data already exists within the SAS® Visual Analytics program. Review the Getting Started in SAS® Studio training video and you will see examples of available data.

http://www.uopstudy.com/ DAT 565 Wk 2 - Data Analysis Exercise and Proposed Data Analysis Topic Selection The purpose of this assignment is to assess various types of data and the relevance of that data for use in data analysis. Students are encouraged to find data sources for topics, industries, or companies in which they have interest. There is also data available within the SAS® Visual Analytics student interface that may be used. By looking at the available data, students should start to formulate the types of questions that they can ask and answer through data analysis.

You are looking for an organization that has: Applied data analysis in a positive way. Readily-available organization and industry data (e.g. user or customer data). Data in a suitable format for input into SAS® Visual Analytics (preferably Microsoft Excel (XLSX) or comma-separated values (CSV) format) that can be used in future assignments. Send a private message to your instructor identifying the organization and the source of data that you plan to use. Your instructor will either approve it or suggest an alternative.

   

Evaluate this organization as a candidate for data analysis in a maximum of 1,050 words, and complete the following: Identify the purpose of the data analysis (i.e. how it will be applied to a specific business need). Summarize the source and type of data being collected and analyzed. Analyze a sample description of one or two records in the database, describing the available data fields collected.

http://www.uopstudy.com/ DAT 565 Wk 3 Team - Data Analysis Peer Review Resource: Data Analysis Peer Review Grading Guide The purpose of this assignment is to have students collaborate by sharing their data analysis ideas and findings with their team members. Inevitably, students will have looked in different locations


and sources for data, and will be using this data to solve a variety of problems. Students will benefit from peer recommendations and feedback. Review each team member's organization and assignment from Week 2. Each team member should provide at least two recommendations for each of the other team members about factors that could improve the methodology and approach used in their data analyses. Summarize the recommendations from each student in a minimum of 700 words, grouping the comments for each team member together and identifying the team member who made each comment. Evaluate any best practices you may have learned from the assigned videos for this week. Cite a minimum of two peer-reviewed references from the University Library that support your recommendations. One of the two references must be from the assigned videos for the week. Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines. Submit your assignment.

http://www.uopstudy.com/ DAT 565 Wk 3 - Introduction to SAS®-Based Data Analysis This assignment will introduce the student to data analysis using SAS® Visual Analytics. The SAS® Visual Analytics environment includes many resources that will help the student understand data analysis methodologies. SAS® Visual Analytics is the leading data analysis software used by businesses today, and skills learned here will be used in later course assignments. Resources: SAS® Visual Analytics software


Review the instructions and examples provided for accessing the SAS® Visual Analytics software and uploading your data. Upload your data from the Week 2 assignment and save it in the system. Perform a basic analysis in SAS® Visual Analytics using the PROC MEANS command appropriate for your data set. Verify from the results if the data is loaded correctly and the data is usable, and create a simple summary report. Create a basic graph or bar chart (i.e. PROC can create a table, basic statistical analysis, and also a graphic representation) using SAS® Visual Analytics to display the results of your analysis. Describe your analysis and the process of loading and executing the commands in the SAS® Visual Analytics environment in a maximum of 700 words. Include a screenshot of the results of your PROC MEANS analysis. Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines. Submit your assignment.
