Project description
BQ7803 Foundations of Data Analysis and Reporting

Survey 1: (Quantitative Data Analysis Assignment)

In order to investigate the wealth of KDS customers and whether or not they have applied for and were granted credit with KDS, a survey using a self-completion questionnaire was employed. The questionnaire contained questions on age, years in work, type of occupation and level of education amongst other things.
The relevant data are contained in the Credit.sav file; the specification of the variables is presented at the end of this document. The assignment comprises the following two parts.

Part 1
You are required to:
a.provide a graph representing JOBINC and interpret the information the graph conveys,
b.comment on the summary statistics describing the main features and distribution characteristics of JOBINC, and
c.using JOBINC or any other ratio variable, carry out significance tests on two and more than two population means.

Part 2
Develop the best model to explain/predict JOBINC. State fully the assumptions underlying the estimation procedures used and identify any estimation problems that arise when these assumptions break down.

The focus must be on interpretation of results and clearly stating and explaining any underlying assumptions. Formulae are not required! Avoid including irrelevant and unnecessary information in your assignment; supporting information may be placed in appendices.

Analyze the political science (international issue).

Project description
Pick one of the current presidential candidates and pretend that he or she won the elections (pick whomever you want – your choice does not need to reflect realistic chances of election or your actual political preference). Do some research on that candidate’s personality, background, previous support for policies, relationship with other politicians/advisors/partisans, etc.

Now, imagine that you are his/her advisor on international issues, and he/she wants you to help him/her find solutions to what you consider to be a relevant international problem. Write a letter to that president including:
An explanation of the problem you chose and why you think the topic is important. You’ll have to pick a topic that you believe your president would also care about or, if you think he/she would not see the issue as a priority, frame it in a way that is more likely to get his/her attention.
An application of one of the theories of International Relations to the problem you chose (think about the individual you chose and which theory/perspective he/she would perhaps be more open to accept).
Weaknesses and strengths of that theory in explaining the problem.
Original and structured solutions to the problem.

Please remember that the topic you choose must be an international issue. Health care or education are not acceptable topics.
