ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Coursera Data Science Capstone Project: “What Will They Say Next?”
Using R, read into PC a massive (556.1 Mb) collection of text files collected from Twitter feeds, News, and Blogs, meant to represent the English language.
Sampled files, using 60% of the texts so that computer was able to process them.
Wrote a Milestone report of results of analysis, including frequency graphs of the most common groups of words appearing in the texts.
Wrote a Next Word Prediction algorithm based on the distribution of words in the texts.
Tested the accuracy of algorithm, using samples from the collection of texts. Modified prediction algorithm to improve speed and accuracy.
Developed a data product, using the R Shiny package, to make the algorithm useable to the public.
Wrote a slide presentation to introduce the data product, with instructions on its use.
Graduate Project: “Developing a statistical method to analyze Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission data”.
January 2006 - December 2007
Performed data organization and statistical analysis of a study in human subjects on the effects of sound introduced to the opposite ear
Used SAS for data organization and statistical analysis of a large data set and developed statistical models to interpret the data. Tested validity of the models
Proposal included: Background information, Purpose, Layout of Experiment, Statistical Methods, and Tentative Time table
Scheduled regular meetings with researchers to discuss our findings and further statistical techniques to interpret their data. Presented summary graphs as requested by researcher.
Findings reported in paper “Developing a statistical method to analyze Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission data,” and presented as a Power Point to the Graduate Committee
Communicated all results to the researcher, and consulted experts to answer questions regarding the model’s validity.
