SECI 2143 SEMESTER 2 2022
I am about to enter the second semester of my first year, and one of the courses I am taking is SECI 2143, which stands for Probability Statistics and Data Analysis. Throughout the course of this unit, I've picked up a wide range of new skills, such as how to do data analysis, how to compute core trends, and how to formulate a hypothesis statement based on a dataset. This information is really important for me to acquire so that I can better prepare myself for the work that I will be doing in the future. In addition, I have been assisted by a professor named Dr. Nor Azizah Ali, who is very dedicated to teaching this topic to each and every one of her pupils.
We were given a final project assignment for this topic, which required us to conduct a data analysis study on a dataset that we selected ourselves and believed would be appropriate for our investigation. Additionally, our class was split up into multiple groups, with each group consisting of a maximum of four students. Umar Haziq, Harith Hakim, and Yasmeen Natasha, three of my other pals, have all decided to be a part of the same group as myself. I was tasked with carrying out a data analysis study that was focused on the correlation between datasets. Our data set contains information that is pertinent to the social media network known as Instagram. This dataset includes a number of factors, some of which include the influencer ranking, the name of the influencer, followers, and so on.
As a consequence of this, the members of my team have agreed that I should use the influencer ranking and the follower ranking variables for my correlation test. When calculating the test value and developing the graph correlation project, I make use of software programmes like Excel and R Programming. I am able to perform a comprehensive computation in a manner that is both straightforward and time-saving by utilising R programming. With the assistance of my R programming knowledge, which I had acquired at the beginning of the semester, I discovered that I was able to come to a complete conclusion for my data experiments that were related to the correlation of such data. This was made possible by the fact that I was able to analyse the results of these experiments.
In addition, I have completed a few more jobs, such as coming up with the ultimate conclusion for our project and assisting other members of the team in completing the task within the allocated amount of time. I have also participated in the video editing process that was done for my group. I am able to report that every single member of my group has fully committed themselves to finishing the project and has worked together well to do so.
As a result of my self-reflection, I have gained a significant amount of knowledge on the processes of hypothesising and doing data analysis. I also have a better understanding of the usage of methods and knowledge that will be utilised later while working, thanks to the assistance of the other members of the team that I am working with. As a result, by working on project 2 with the other members of the group, I will be able to acquire an initial overview of how to use previously gained knowledge.
