数据分析代写 | MAT022 Foundations of Statistics and Data Science Resit Coursework

本次英国代写是数据分析的一个Coursework

Summative re-assessment for the module is by means of a single report on your statistical
analysis of a data set related to the National Basketball Association (NBA), a professional
basketball league in the USA. Please read this document carefully.

This form of assessment has been chosen because as professional statisticians and data scientists,
you will often be asked to investigate a data set and report on whether it contains anything useful
or interesting. The assessment will also help you to prepare for writing your MSc dissertation
in the summer.

Your report will be assessed according to how well you are able to

 analyse the data set, 40%
 interpret the results of your analysis, and 30%
 present the results of your analysis and your interpretation of the data set. 30%

Your analysis should be performed using the R statistical software package, and your report
prepared using the R Markdown typesetting system and the template provided. Two marks will
be deducted for reports prepared using alternative systems such as Microsoft Word or LaTeX.
