ST635 Final Project

Introduction:

Every year many applicants are disappointed by the outcomes of graduate school applications. In research, there are actually some factors(variables) that, together, make up for a huge impact of final results of getting admitted by their dream schools. It is not only compelling but also essential to find out the role each variable plays in the process to help students better understanding which part of work they should focus and improve more in his or her personal condition in order to succeed in getting admitted.

Data Description:

The data we are using is Graduate Admission dataset for our analysis. In particular, we want to find out the relationships of a student’s studying scores and odds of getting admitted by graduate schools. In the following steps, we are using logistic model, linear regression, decision tree model, and clusters to find best model to analyze the result.

The dataset contains several parameters which are considered important during the application for Masters Programs. The parameters included are : 1. GRE Scores ( out of 340 ) 2. TOEFL Scores ( out of 120 ) 3. University Rating ( out of 5 ) 4. Statement of Purpose and Letter of Recommendation Strength ( out of 5 ) 5. Undergraduate GPA ( out of 10 ) 6. Research Experience ( either 0 or 1 ) 7. Chance of Admit ( ranging from 0 to 1 )

Because the number of observations is too small, we may introduce cross validation method to stabilize the prediction accuracy.

Methodology:

Particularly, logistic regression model after separating data into training data and running a logistic regression, we can successfully predict the status of admission for every candidate. Specifically, based on the false positive rate of the results, we find the best model for use. We are using unsupervised and supervised data in particular, checking PCA to explain better sensitivity rate and accuracy. Similarly, for linear regression model, we run linear regression model and look for the possibility of getting admitted above 0.5 is a good indicator, based on positive and negative rate. While running decision tree model, we separate raw data into training data, and then we form basic decision trees using given data in specific conditions we generate. Finally, we analyze and find out the best fitted model with numbers of nodes and numbers of layers. Last but not least, the clusters we are using hierarchy analysis to decide the number of groups and categorize individuals with common characteristic, and then conduct non-hierarchy analysis to based on group we decide.

Motivation:

The reason why we chose this model is we are interested in both finding out the relationship and helping out student to succeed in all perspectives in order to get into good schools. Nevertheless, this is what we have been through. Therefore we are familiar with dataset variables. There are over 400 observations and 7 variables that make it feasible to be predicted and analyzed. The intersection of our background and experience led us to focus on the admission research dataset dedicated towards statistics. Moreover, it is an unique application or rather an improvement of what we learnt in class.

Diagnostic and Clinical Reasoning Paper Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you the opportunity to expand the scope of your clinical documentation and your thought processes relative to complex patient care cases. 

1. Select a patient encounter from your current clinical experience.

2. The patient encounter you select should be one of the more complex patient cases that you have experienced with your current clinical patient population. Given that you are to select complex cases, this assignment may not be completed for a well child, well woman, routine OB, routine physical exam (etc.)’ type of encounter.

You will need to identify which patient encounter you are expanding your documentation for by including the Typhon Case ID # under your name on the title page of your paper.

3. For this assignment you will utilize the same SOAP format that you do for your ‘expanded’ Typhon encounters. Construct this assignment ensuring that you adhere to the writing guidelines provided in the 6th edition APA manual.

Directions: You will create a brochure that will illustrate the truth behind Jim Crow and how it affected the daily lives of African Americans in the Southern United States. Tour Brochure- create a brochure that would be handed to someone on a tour of an area where Jim Crow Laws were prevalent • In our brochure include: • Pictures of what you’d see on the tour • Information about the area and how these laws were implemented in the area Each project will must address the following questions/ideas: • How did Jim Crow Laws limit African American participation in society? • Why did the laws start? • What affects did they have on African Americans developing their roles in society? • How did Jim Crow laws affect the political rights of African Americans? • How did Jim Crow laws affect the economic life of African Americans? • How did Jim Crow laws affect the social (daily) life of African Americans? In addition to the questions above, each project will need to address or discuss four of the topics below: • The Freedmen’s Bureau • 14th Amendment • 15th Amendment • Black Codes • Ku Klux Klan • The end of Reconstruction • Tenant Farmers • Poll taxes • Literacy test • The Grandfather Clause

The
primary limitation of a full-cost based transfer pricing system is that:
A
The supplying and purchasing divisions
are more likely to make decisions that are inconsistent with the
.
goals of the organization as a whole.

B.There
will be little incentive on the part of the supplying manager to supply goods
and services efficiently.

C.
Managers may spend too much time
negotiating the transfer price.
D.
Managers may find that the transfer
price is difficult to compute.
E.
Such transfer prices are not currently
allowed for federal income tax purposes.

67.
A company has two divisions, X and Y,
each operated as an investment center. X charges Y $55 per unit for each unit
transferred to Y. Other data are:

X is
planning to raise its transfer price to $65 per unit. Division Y can purchase
units at $50 each from outsiders, but doing so would idle X’s facilities now
committed to producing units for Y. Division

X cannot
increase its sales to outsiders. From the perspective of the short-term
profit position of the company as a whole, from which source should
Division Y acquire the units?

A.
Outside vendors.
B.
Division X, but only at the variable
cost per unit.
C.
Division X, but only until fixed costs
are covered, then should purchase from outside vendors.
D.
Division X, in spite of the increased
transfer price.
E.
It is not possible to tell without
additional information.

68. Division
A, which is operating at capacity, produces a component that it currently sells
in a competitive market for $25 per unit. At the current level of production,
the fixed cost of producing this component is $8 per unit and the variable cost
is $10 per unit. Division B would like to purchase this component from Division
A. The price that Division A should charge Division Y for this component is:
A.

C.
$20 per unit.
D.
$25 per unit.
E.
$35 per unit.
