ACADEMIC PROJECT
Interpersonal-Trust-and-Media-Usage - Regression Course Presentation (R, Excel) December 2017
∗ Collected dataset, built several general linear regression models, and related to the ANOVA table to predict human trust
index in the United Kingdom by using the backward-forward selection algorithm
∗ Assumed the models are in the same variation and then compare the models by using the log-likelihood ratio test and
the AIC values. Used Newton’s method (Descent Direction and Modified Newton) to do the optimization
Effect-of-weather-on-crime-incidents in D.C - Time Series Course Project (R, Excel) December 2017
∗ Evaluated if there is a significant relationship between weather and crime levels by modeling the seasonality of the crime
data and controlling weather and unemployment rate at both daily and monthly rates
∗ Carried out near-future prediction on the crime rate in DC by utilizing the 7-day weather forecasting. Tested if the series
was stationary by applying the Unit root tests
A-Study-of-the-Prediction-of-Forest-Fire - Statistical Learning Course Project (R, Excel, Weka) May 2018
∗ Cleaned unstructured data; merged, appended, or updated transformed datasets by using Weka and R
∗ Used features on the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System (FWI) to determine the influence on the burned area
of each accident. Completed large data visualization by using the R visualization packages and Weka
∗ Applied Smoothly Spline, Logistic Regression and Neural Network techniques to build forecasting models
