Research Intern
We were provided with a dataset of 40 million Tweets by our sponsor industry Twitter on which we are performing
statistical analysis in order to explore the nature and structure of conversations between organizations and users
on Twitter, and how successfully such interactions are resolved. Implemented in R and Python.

We worked on a project using Stop and frisk data relies by NYPD where it focused on the social cost on certain groups that result from the Stop-and-Frisk policy in New York City. We also came up with ways to improve police officer's stop decisions by creating two types of statistical models. Implemented in R and Python.

•Acquired, cleaned, and utilized real-world data for research purposes which also involve data mining and gaining experience in acquiring and modeling data from online sources.
•Successfully develop statistical model and heuristic model using Stop-and-Frisk data to aid NYPD officers for making optimal stop decisions.
•Evaluated models with applications including spam filtering and recommendation systems.
•Conducted web scraping data extraction using Python.
•Used R, Python and command line to analyze, visualize and machine learning regression to predict the outcome.
