ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Statistical Analysis and Predictive Modeling of basketball league data, ASU Aug 2014 – Dec 2014
Performed statistical data analysis on basketball league data of 3 years by specifying and validating the model through JMP
Identified relationship between data parameters by conducting data mining and root-cause analysis
Validated the model, achieved R-Squared (Prediction) equal to 85.21% and predicted winning % with minimum error of 0.7453%
Market Analysis and Forecasting of future loan rates, ASU Aug 2014 – Dec 2014
Analyzed and modeled time centered data over 42 years obtained from Federal Reserve Economic Data using Exponential Smoothing and ARIMA models in Minitab
Evaluated residual plots and prediction profilers to find that ARIMA(0,1,0) fitted the model with minimal forecast error
Statistical Data Mining of credit card application data, ASU Aug 2014 – Dec 2014
Analyzed and assessed the quality of credit card applications over a 6 month period and implemented up-sampling technique (SMOTE) to solve the class imbalance problem
Classified the dataset using algorithms like Decision Trees, Bayesian Networks, Adaboost with Random Forest & Cluster analysis
Tested the new data set using the best classifier, Adaboost and found the overall error rate to be 1.15%
Monte Carlo Simulation of Rockland Steel Company, ASU Jan 2014 – May 2014
Suggested changes to the inventory of Rockland Steel by analyzing their production system
Decreased lead time by 6% by performing statistical analysis of the results in JMP
Enhanced the productivity of coils by 10% and reduced inventory holding costs by 15% after applying suggested changes
Factorial Analysis on the performance of Li-Ion Battery, ASU Aug 2013 – Dec 2013
