First Day Assignment

1. 

This application is nice. It feels like a regular word-processing app. It is also free.

2. 

The R console download was quick. A little bit sketchy, made me double-check check I had a recent recovery drive set up.

The Rstudio download was quick as well. Less sketchy looking. There are a lot of buttons.

3. 

The Syllabus seems straightforward. I am excited to start my journey of understanding the learning outcomes. 

4.

Statistics: Statistics is the mathematical process of collecting and defining data to form rational inferences. It is an efficiency practice that allows large sets of data to be more easily interpreted.

Analytics: I do not have a strong understanding of analytics. After some research, I am confused about the difference between statistics and analytics. It seems analytics is used more in the business side of things. Where the datum is used to form rational inferences that businesses use to make their decisions. 

5.

R: An open-source coding language that uses a command line interpreter. It is designed for data scientists to manipulate, model, and chart data sets. It has built-in functions designed for data analysis.

Given the low P-values, we can say that age and fev1 are significantly related to pemax. However, given the high p-values, we can say weight and bmp do not have a significant relation to pemax Coefficients:   (Intercept)          age       weight          bmp         fev1         179.296       -3.418        2.688       -2.066        1.088

Final Project

Daniel Tafmizi Lis 4273 Dr. Ajani  April 21, 2024 Final Project     My final project uses a World Health Organization data set that tracks weekly deaths and cases (D/C) of Covid 19. I subsetted the United States of America and Canada data rows. I am interested in learning about the  D/C  ratio between the years of each country, as well as the  D/C  ratio between the countries. This offers useful insight into the healthcare and social systems of the countries. Having the  D/C  ratio decrease over time shows that better healthcare and social practices are being implemented. It also acts as a measure of the country's overall healthcare systems.     I will use what I have learned in this class to run Anova analysis on the data. I will detail the process I took as I go along. As a sidenote, it is important I note that the data may have some departures due to local adaptations (WHO). Such as, what they consider a covid death or how they timeline the report. However, taking a yearly appr
