DQ2
How did you determine the data timeframe to review? Why did you select the data that you used for your analytics project? Why did you exclude other data? What barriers can you come up against when trying to obtain data (i.e., confidential data, personal data, or personnel data)?
Assignment
Now that you have identified the business problem and translated it into an analytics problem, you can now identify the data needs and acquire the data.
Provide a 500-1,000 word paper that, at a minimum, identifies the data needs in terms of the following:
- What is needed? Be specific for each variable (e.g., Monthly Sales last 12 months, Number of Monthly Customers last 12 months).
- How can the data be obtained? When can the data be obtained?
- For each data variable, identify the specific type: Are they measured data (continuous, e.g., how long does a customer stay in the retail store?) or counted data (discrete, e.g., how many customers came to the store from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.?).
- Also, assess whether the available data can be used to address the specific analytics problem statement identified in the Topic 2 assignment.
Provide the raw data that you will be using for subsequent assignments. Place the dataset into an Excel file. Ensure that column headers are provided that clearly identify the meaning of each data variable. As needed, provide the necessary information in the file so data values can be interpreted. If there are concerns about proprietary issues related to using company data, you can change your dataset accordingly.
