As I discussed in class and posted on here last week, you should choose a topic for your linear regression project today.
To encourage you to do this, I’m making this an OpenLab assignment; completing this simple assignment will earn you one point towards the participation component of your course grade:
- decide whether you want to work on this project individually or together with a partner
- decide on a topic (broadly speaking) that you’re interested in studying statistically
- some examples: economics, sports, public health, law/crime, business, finance, entertainment (movies, music, etc), demographics (population, race, gender, etc), politics/elections, transit/transportation, weather, environment, energy, …
- post your topic in the comments below (if you are working with a partner, only one of you has to post, but then mention in the comment who you’re working with)
- this should just be one or two sentences. e.g., “I would like to work on a dataset related to the environment and energy consumption.”
This assignment is due this Friday (November 29). Late submissions will receive partial credit. (But it should only take 10minutes to complete, so just get it done today!)
There will be a “part 2” to this assignment next week, when I will ask you to decide on a specific topic, e.g., “I will analyze a paired dataset regarding CO2 emissions and wealth (GDP per capita), at the country-level.” You can start thinking about that over the long weekend.
Here are some websites you can browse for ideas for specific topics:
**(Open To having a partner, let me know class)** I’d like my topic for this project to have something to do with music streams and the length of the artist’s career. How many streams does Drake get on his first few projects versus his later albums? Something along these lines..
