Projects
My Projects in R:
NOV 2024 | Data-Based Evaluation of Third-Party Assertion:
Do Proportional Electoral College Allocations Yield a More Representative Presidency?
In this analysis, I investigated the impact of different state-level electoral vote allocation methods on presidential election outcomes. I compared various allocation strategies, assessed fairness and proportionality, and created visualizations like red/blue electoral maps using data from the MIT Election Lab and the US Census Bureau’s TIGER repository.
OCT 2024 | Data-Based Support for Sales Pitch:
Exploratory Data Analysis and Movie Analysis
This project positioned me as a Hollywood development executive, analyzing large-scale IMDb data to pitch a new movie. I developed proficiency in handling large datasets and relational data structures through techniques like table joins, enhancing my skills in managing and interpreting extensive information.
SEPT 2024 | Descriptive Statistical Analysis:
Fiscal Characteristics of Major US Public Transit Systems
I investigate the fiscal characteristics of US public transit authorities. In this project, I handle the data import and tidying; students are mainly responsible for “single table” dplyr operations (mutate
, group_by
, summarize
, select
, arrange
, rename
) to produce summary statistics.
IN Progress:
DEC 2024 | Data-Driven Decision Support:
Monte Carlo-Informed Selection of CUNY Retirement Plans
For this project, I conducted a comparative analysis of two CUNY retirement plans using Monte Carlo simulations. By incorporating historical financial and macroeconomic data, I assessed the probability of different retirement outcomes. This experience included working with APIs, implementing complex simulations, and applying bootstrap inference techniques to quantify prediction uncertainties.
