STA8170 Statistics for Quantitative Researchers - University of Southern Queensland

Objectives

The purpose of this project is to provide hands-on experience in data analysis and report writing:
(i) Selecting a dataset in a topic of your interest from the Project Data Sets folder on the StudyDesk;
(ii) Conducting data screening, formatting and appropriate statistical analyses;
(iii) Exploring data and fitting an appropriate linear model;
(iv) Interpreting the results produced by computer package;
(v) Checking the assumptions of the fitted model; and
(vi) Preparing/writing a report on the project as a research report within 15 double spaced pages.

Project Report Format

The report should be prepared as a comprehensive document covering all aspects of the project within 15 double spaced pages including SPSS/R outputs. The report must contain each of the eight parts listed below along with the marking allocations are as follows:

1. Identify and justify the response and explanatory variables in the data set
2. Graphical display of relationship among the variables - interpret the relationships
3. Fitting of appropriate multiple regression model using SPSS or R
4. Stating the hypotheses, report the significance of overall regression - interpret the results
5. Test the significance of all individual regression parameters - interpret the results
6. Find 95% confidence interval of the most significant regression coefficient - interpret the results
7. Report appropriate statistic and conclude on the suitability of the regressors in the model
8. Checking the assumptions of the regression model - graph and comments.

The following points should be noted and followed:

1. A completed Project Proposal Form (accessible from the StudyDesk), must be submitted to the Course Examiner no later than 12 May 2022 (earlier submission encouraged) seeking approval for the Project.

2. You must not start your project before gaining written approval from your Course Examiner.

3. Once you have an approved proposal (several revision of draft submissions might be involved) it should be submitted/uploaded online on the StudyDesk via the Proposal Submission link before staring the work on the project.

4. The Final Project Report must be typed double spaced within 15 pages and submitted online as a PDF document through the Project Submission link on the StudyDesk by the due date.

5. Must be your own original work, and report to be written to the Examiner as the audience.

6. Presentation must be clear and systematic, methods should be justified and apply correctly, and all tables and graphs should have proper title or caption.
