Does Regular Exercise Reduce Stress?:Developed a RandomForestRegressor, using data collected from FitBit Versa 4, to predict stress levels. Found lack of sleep to be the main contributor. California Housing Dataset: I chose RandomForestRegressor and MLPRegressor, as the dataset consisted of nonlinear features: Latitude and Longitude. I obtained a mean-squared-error (MSE) of 0.1 on the training dataset using Sci-kit Learn's MLPRegressor and an MSE of 0.2 on the testing dataset. Second-Order Permutation Variable Importances for Random Forest Regressor: I found a relationship between Sobol Sensitivity Indices (or measures) and Second-Order Permutation variable Importances for RandomForestRegressor (RFR), overcoming the bias present within RFR's feature importance. Mathematical Model for Substituting Insect Frass for Mineral Fertilizer: Demonstrated that insect frass isn't a viable alternative for mineral fertilization, as it requires large buildings (bigger than the Ei el Tower) to house them and to produce enough frass for a farm with 2400 acres of land. Modeling the effects of decomposing cow carcasses (leachate) on groundwater basins in Tooele, Utah: Developed Mathematical Model, adapting Darcy's Law of Flow. Found that the amount of cow-carcass contaminants(leachate) in the groundwater will be 9.46 ppm(parts per million), which exceeded the USEPA's recommendations. Recommended the installation of filters. PROJECTS
