What is the definition of a regression analysis, and why would a researcher be interested in using this type of analysis? Share at least three specific real-world business examples where a regression analysis would be appropriate to study. Your examples should differ from those of your classmates (great incentive to post as early in the week as possible!).

this assignment illustrates how data analytics can be used to create strategies for sustainable organizational success while integrating the organization’s mission with societal values. You’ll apply statistical time series modeling techniques to identify patterns and develop time-dependent demand models. You’ll practice organizing and delivering a presentation to senior decision-makers. The PowerPoint presentation includes an audio component in addition to speaker notes. Resources: Microsoft Excel®, DAT565_v3_Wk6_Data_File Scenario: A city’s administration isn’t driven by the goal of maximizing revenues or profits but instead looks at improving the quality of life of its residents. Many American cities are confronted with high traffic and congestion. Finding parking spaces, whether in the street or a parking lot, can be time consuming and contribute to congestion. Some cities have rolled out data-driven parking space management to reduce congestion and make traffic more fluid. You’re a data analyst working for a mid-size city that has anticipated significant increments in population and car traffic. The city is evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in infrastructure to count and report the number of parking spaces available at the different parking lots downtown. This data would be collected and processed in real-time, feeding an app that motorists can access to find parking space availability in different parking lots throughout the city. Instructions: Work with the provided Excel database. This database has the following columns:LotCode: A unique code that identifies the parking lotLotCapacity: A number with the respective parking lot capacityLotOccupancy: A number with the current number of cars in the parking lotTimeStamp: A day indicating the moment when occupancy was measuredDay: The day of the week corresponding to the TimeStampInsert a new column, OccupancyRate, recording occupancy rate as a percentage with one decimal. For instance, if the current LotOccupancy is 61 and LotCapacity is 577, then the OccupancyRate would be reported as 10.6 (or 10.6%).Using the OccupancyRate and Day columns, construct box plots for each day of the week. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Is the median occupancy rate approximately the same throughout the week? If not, which days have lower median occupancy rates? Which days have higher median occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?Using the OccupancyRate and LotCode columns,construct box plots for each parking lot. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Do all parking lots experience approximately equal occupancy rates?Are some parking lots more frequented than others? Is this what you expected?Select any 2 parking lots. For each one, prepare as scatter plot showing occupancy rate against day of the week, for the week 11/20/2016 –11/26/2016. Are occupancy rates time dependent? If so, which times seem to experience highest occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?Presentation: Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation with speaker notes and audio. (If you are unable to engage the audio, you may insert your narration for each slide in the notes section on each slide.) Your audience is the City Council members who are responsible for deciding whether the city invests in resources to set in motion the smart parking space app. Complete the following in your presentation: Outline the rationale and goals of the project. Utilize boxplots showing the occupancy rates for each day of the week. Include your interpretation of results.Utilize box plots showing the occupancy rates for each parking lot. Include your interpretation of results.Provide scatter plots showing occupancy rate against time of day of your selected four parking lots. Include your interpretation of results. Make a recommendation about continuing with the implementation of this project.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates' initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week. In the introduction to Week 5, there is some important information about conflict resolution. Moreover, there are some illustrations which allow you to see how well you understand the steps you would take as a manager when you must resolve a conflict.Search the literature about conflict and conflict resolution in the South University Online Library. Then, consider your workplace. What conflict—past or present—have you witnessed in your organization? Use your research to develop the steps you would take in order to resolve this conflict. In your discussion, be sure to include these steps:Describe the situation and the nature of the conflict.Explain what will happen if you do not attempt to solve the conflict.Explain the intervention meeting you would plan when you bring the two parties having the conflict together.Construct the messages you will convey to both parties experiencing the conflict.Set a goal for a successful outcome of the meeting.Develop plans to get closure on the conflict.What a great opportunity you have before you which has the potential to improve the lives of the individuals experiencing the conflict and the overall health of the organization!
