This is a final semester project on Statistics in Sustainability. You should be using JMP Statistic software to complete this project.
The project should address a real-world problem with relevant data.
Use your own data if available.
Otherwise, use secondary data, but you need to provide the source.
Data may also be available at www.data.gov
The goal of the project is to use all the relevant material from the course, not to find a significant hypothesis testing result.
A rigorous study covering the materials discussed is more important than showing that the test result is statistically significant. (I will provide you with all my course materials, or lecture notes).
The final report should consist of
?Objective (e.g. verify a hypothesis or theory, etc.)
?Brief description of data and source
?Methods and models used to analyze the data
?Results of analysis and practical implications
?Limitations of the data, methods, results
Avoid
Misuse of methods
Misinterpreting results
Overlooking model inadequacy
Messy report
