Analyze your agency’s current deployment structure and the boundaries and number of existing

Data Analytics Final Project

Description

Assignment 7.1 Data Analytics Final Project use the provided outline in order to complete the assigment.will add instructors notes on the outline. Reports or academic-style essays should by 7-8 pages in length, double-spaced, using standard

fonts and margins.

The goal of this project is to apply data analytics and critical thinking skills to a real-world crime problem,

public safety policy, or resource allocation decision. You will identify a topic of your choice that achieves

these objectives. Topic choices that are likely to have real-world practical value for your agency are

encouraged, but not required. Quality projects will demonstrate the ability to leverage numerical data and

related evidence into sound arguments for resources, to analyze the effectiveness of an existing policy, or

propose new strategies and approaches.

Substantive Requirements

Quality projects will…

• Use numerical data to make an argument or evaluation

• Utilize charts, tables, and/or graphs to illustrate the data

• Possibly utilize statistical procedure(s) from the course

• Leverage examples and cases that help bring the data to life and show its impact on your agency

• Incorporate various sources of crime data, if applicable to your topic

• Provide ample empirical evidence and citations as support throughout

Examples & Possible Directions

These examples are intended to provide direction and guidance, but should not limit your thinking.

• analyze the efficacy of an existing intelligence-led or data-driven policing strategy possibly

including an analysis of calls for service, arrests, reports taken etc.

• create a new intelligence-led or data-driven policing strategy for your agency with sound empirical

justification

• conduct an analysis of specialized units and their effectiveness in addressing community needs

• conduct an analysis of staffing in general or particular deployment strategies and their

effectiveness in addressing community needs

• analyze your agency’s current deployment structure and the boundaries and number of existing

beats

• leverage data to analyze a decision involving resources including personnel, fleet, and/or

equipment

How would construct validity be applied in this example, and why would it be important to prove that validity?

Suppose a NASA task force is reviewing a final draft of an accident/incident report, and you have been tasked with determining whether the conclusions presented in the final draft are in line with the data/findings presented within the report.

Why would construct validity be part of your thought process in completing such a task?

Now consider a specific real world example in which NASA needed to investigate an accident/incident to determine the cause.

How would construct validity be applied in this example, and why would it be important to prove that validity?

Note: No duplications allowed – you must choose a real world example that has not already been described in the discussion. The earlier you post, the more choices you’ll have

So far Challenger 1986 Accident, Columbia 2003 Accident and October 28, 2014, Orbital ATK have been taken.

What do you think about the notion presented by Terris that Lockheed’s ethics program does little to prevent ethical breaches at the highest level of the organization?

A Critique of Lockheed Martin

In this assignment you will be asked to review Chapter 4, the final chapter of Terris’ book, and to spend some time applying your critical thinking skills in evaluating Lockheed Martin’s efforts.

Address the following in your paper:
1. What do you think about the notion presented by Terris that Lockheed’s ethics program does little to prevent ethical breaches at the highest level of the organization?

2. Are the efforts put forth—such as making sure higher level executives participate in training—enough to help executives navigate what Terris calls the ‘ethical minefield’ faced by leadership in such an organization?

3.What are some things that could be done to address the issue related to ethics at higher executive levels of the organization?
4.Terris points out that the company’s program is overly focused on individuals and that it doesn’t really address group dynamics that can impact ethical situations.

For instance, there can be a tendency for groups to ‘go with the flow’ of the group decision making process and overlook ethical issues in the process. What would you recommend that Lockheed Martin do to address this situation?

(Hint: reviewing p. 128 and the following pages – before section headed “Personal Responsibility, Collective Innocence” – of the text might be helpful).

Write a 3- to 4-page paper, not including title page or references page addressing the issue and upload it by the end of this module.

Your paper should be double-spaced and in 12-point type size.

Your paper should have a separate cover page and a separate reference page. Make sure you cite your sources.

Use APA style, and proofread your paper.

Analyze sources of data/information related to a given research topic.Evaluate both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

A Brief Statistical Look at Apollo

The Research Project is worth 20+ percent of your overall course grade. The assignment requires you to demonstrate the following course objectives (as stated in the course syllabus):

Analyze sources of data/information related to a given research topic

Evaluate both quantitative and qualitative research methods

Apply select statistical analysis procedures for quantitative data

Present findings in a coherent manner using both written text and graphics

For this assignment, you will be required to use a minimum of seven supporting documents/sources.

All sources must be scientific/scholarly in nature (and must be independent of one another just like in the Annotated Bibliography–two different pages from the same website count as one source).

Do not forget to access and use the AMU Online Library in support of your research, as well as the NASA website.

Research Task

Find, compare, and contrast the data for the Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions.

This may include such information as total days in Earth and lunar orbit, total time on the Moon, total spacewalks, health statistics for the astronauts and/or any other information/mission objectives you feel pertinent.

There is no set path for this assignment – the values to be compared are of your choosing, but make sure you analyze the information in depth. Do not just copy it from other sources and consider that your paper.

Format — MUST BE FOLLOWED!

Page 1: Cover Sheet (Title: “A Brief Statistical Look at Apollo”)

Page 2: Table of Contents

Pages 3-the end of Page 6 (keep within these pages–do not add any more!): Narrative Overview/Findings. IMPORTANT: Be sure to state up front what questions you are going to answer. For example, “This paper will compare/contrast the following mission objectives from _____________________.” In addition, you need to include a statement of your hypothesis, both qualitatively (in words) and mathematically (as you’ve been doing in the chapter exercises).

Pages 7-10: Statistical findings; should include an in depth analysis and may also include tables/graphs

Page 11: Summary (one paragraph to one page in length)

Page 12: Bibliography

Additional Guidance

Remember, all Space Studies course papers require the use of the APA Style Guide.

The narrative of your paper should be double spaced (except when using long quotations – more than four lines – which requires single spacing and further indentation).

Make sure to keep your work in third-person perspective. Terms such as “we,” “me,” “us,” and “our,” are not acceptable for this assignment. Your paper should be in Times New Roman 12 point font and only use one space between sentences.

Cite resources in your paper in accordance with APUS requirements.

Remember, if you list a number/fact/figure, you had to find/take it from somewhere so be sure to cite accordingly. Don’t cite Wikipedia – it’s not an appropriate source for college papers.

It is correct to capitalize “Moon” and also correct not to, but make sure you choose one way and then stay consistent throughout your paper.

Write a 1,500–1,750-word argument using five to seven academic resources that persuades an audience to accept your explanation of the causes and effects of your chosen trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs.

Goal

Choose a trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. The trend or phenomenon should have a definable set of causes and effects.

Write a 1,500–1,750-word argument using five to seven academic resources that persuades an audience to accept your explanation of the causes and effects of your chosen trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs.

Directions

Imagine your issue either as a puzzle or as a disagreement.

If your issue is like a puzzle that needs to be put together, your task will be to create a convincing case for an audience that does not have an answer to your cause and effect question already in mind.

If your issue is like a disagreement that needs to be resolved, your argument must be overtly persuasive because your goal will be to change your audience’s views.

Be sure to examine alternative hypotheses or opposing views and explain your reasons for rejecting them.

This essay is NOT a CASUAL essay. Instead, it is a cause and effect essay.

A cause and effect essay explains the causes and effects of a trend or phenomenon involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. Include in-text citations and a references page in APA Style for FIVE to SEVEN scholarly sources

Discuss some of the factors, including environmental, sustainable, and governance (ESG) factors, that you believe have impacted the stock performance and why

Discussion: Understanding Pricing of a Stock

You may have seen how financial news outlets provide real-time financial market reporting.

They often produce stock-market news feeds for traders; these news feeds include a stock chart.

The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.

There are many factors that will influence pricing that can’t be controlled or predicted accurately.

The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.

For this discussion, first go to Mergent Online. Find the pricing chart under the “Company Details” tab, then click on Pricing Summary for your selected company.

This is the company you have selected for your Project Two assignment. Filter the time period to one year.

In your initial post, address the following:

• Discuss how the stock for your company is trending. Explain why the stock is in either an uptrend or downtrend. •

Discuss some of the factors, including environmental, sustainable, and governance (ESG) factors, that you believe have impacted the stock performance and why

. • Convince your peers to either invest in your chosen company or to not invest in the company. Explain your reasoning.

In your response posts to at least two peers, discuss the following:

• Do you agree with your peer’s argument to either invest or not invest in their company? Explain why or why not, making sure to also include information not previously shared by your peer.
