Boston University Module 4 Data Mining Discussion

Attached Files:This assignment provides you with practice using R for data mining techniques. You will use R to classify and cluster dataset to show how data mining methods can be used to classify and cluster data. Before beginning this assignment, review the learning resources for this module, especially Introduction to Data Mining with R from R DataMining.com, reviewing the steps taken to classify and cluster the iris data set in R. The purpose of clustering is to form new classification from numerical variables. Therefore, it is important that you remove original classification from the data set prior to conducting clustering. For example, the species variable needs to be removed from the Iris data set because species is a classification. You may then merge back the original specifies variable and compare the newly formed clusters against the original classification to see how they differ. Complete the following steps and write a report to record your work, results and analysis. *The factoextra package is used to determine the optimal number clusters for a given clustering methods and for data visualization **The NcClust package provides 30 indices for determining the relevant number of clusters and the best clustering scheme from the different results obtained by varying all combinations of number of clusters, distance measures, and clustering methods. It can simultaneously compute all the indices and determine the number of clusters in a single function call. Report Your assignment/project should have a good cover/title page, introduction of what the goals of the project and the methods you use. It also should follow APA format t least 1000 words (excluding title page and references page) and references page. In the body of your project you should incorporate the R codes and R outputs with interpretation of your results. Be sure to show all the elements in the official hypothesis, including the null and alternative hypothesis, the critical values, calculation of the test statistics and p-values. Finally, you need to make sense of your results to make good points with proper conclusions, to show your understanding of the course material and its application to the dataset. Graphs, figures, charts, tables are very useful to increase visual effects to impress your readers. You also should do your best to give insight and understanding to the project good conclusion. Please use subtitles to make your assignment more reader friendly as well.

BUS 195 The University of Montana Personal Finance Questions

Q1 (10 pts)  Recognizing Cognitive BiasesMost of the time, decisions are made without people even realizing the ?why? behind their decisions. Our decisions are often driven by our own biases instead of logic or good judgment. These numerous ?poor instincts? are called cognitive biases. It is important to identify cognitive biases in Personal Finance because they cause so many of the common financial errors in our society. Google defines these as follows:  ?Cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment, and are often studied in psychology and behavioral economics.? This is one reason why in personal finance, learning the tools tends to be much easier than applying them.Here is a  list of possible biases that are closely related to personal finances (not comprehensive):  ambiguity effect, anchoring, bandwagon effect, confirmation bias, denomination effect, endowment effect, gamblers? fallacy, hot-hand fallacy, IKEA effect, illusion of control, loss aversion, money illusion, ostrich effect, planning fallacy, restraint bias, zero risk bias, and sunk cost fallacy.Choose three of the biases and conduct an internet search for each one.  Answer the following questions for each bias.a.  Define the bias. b. How does the bias affect personal finance decisions? c. What are some ways the bias can be overcome? Be sure to cite your references.  If you can, provide any personal experience/observation of the bias clouding judgment in a personal finance decision.  Your responses to the three questions should be a minimum of 150 words per bias.Q2.

AU Is the US Population Unhealthy & Health Care Delivery Discussions

DISCUSSION 1: Cost and HealthcareIn a recent election, on a national debate stage, a political candidate declared that “no American has ever died for lack of health care”. It is true that hospitals are required by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a federal law to stabilize and treat all patients, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. It is an unfunded mandate with hospital emergency rooms bearing the entire burden of the cost. Outside the boundaries of this act, un/underinsured patients surely do die for a lack of health care.Have you or anyone you know been in this situation? How would someone feel if they were in a position where they could not afford treatment?  In the movie, ?John Q?, John Quincy Archibald’s son Michael collapses while playing baseball as a result of heart failure. John rushes Michael to a hospital emergency room where he is informed that Michael’s only hope is a transplant. Unfortunately, John’s insurance won’t cover his son’s transplant. Out of options, John Q. takes extreme measures to save his son. While a compelling film, it is certainly from one point of view and sensationalized. Health care professionals must always be tasked with seeing all points of view with objectivity.Question the impact of being uninsured.Include the following aspects in the discussion:Is the U.S. Population Unhealthy?Health-related behavior represents a prime target for improving the nation?s health. Today?s leading cases of disease and death are preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and asthma), and behavioral risk factors play a critical role in their development and management. Obesity is common, serious and costly problem in the U.S. Obesity affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016. Fast food consumption has been linked to higher caloric intake and greater risk for obesity. As an increasing number of consumers are dining at fast food restaurants, policy makers are turning their attention to environmental and policy approaches that influence consumer choice, including mandated calorie menu labels in fast food restaurants. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act included a provision requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations nationwide to post calorie information at the point of purchase.Watch the following video: Supersize meExplore the effectiveness of healthy living education.Include each of the following aspects in the discussion:
