Option #1: Northwind Data Mining and Statistical Analysis Project – PlanningThe objective of the Portfolio Project is mining data from a data warehouse, which contains data from the Northwind database you constructed during the installation of PostgreSQL.Review the Portfolio Project milestone requirements in Modules 3 and 6, and the Portfolio Project requirements in Module 8 for a better understanding of the entire effort.Summary of Tasks for the Portfolio ProjectData Warehouse:Create a data warehouse database, including the fact and dimension tables (star schema).Create the schema for each table.Populate the tables using either ETL (Pentaho) or SQL (PostgreSQL).Preprocessing for SAS:Extract data from the data warehouse, creating a file for input into SAS. The format of the file is your choice. Ensure SAS University Edition accepts your selected format.Statistical Analysis Using SAS:Import data created in the preprocessing step.Conduct statistical analysis using the appropriate statistics from each category:Summary statisticsClassificationClusteringAssociationPrepare an analysis report.Milestone Deliverables:A detailed plan including the tasks, activities, and software requirementsA brief description of any challenges you might face in completing the Portfolio ProjectYour paper must meet the following requirements:Be 2-3 pages in length, not including the cover and references pages.Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA (Links to an external site.). Your paper should include an introduction, a body with at least two fully developed paragraphs, and a conclusion.Be clearly and well written using excellent grammar and style techniques. Be concise and logical. You are being graded, in part, on the quality of your writing. If you need assistance with your writing style, you can find many writing resources in the CSU-Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.).Be supported with at least two peer-reviewed, scholarly references. The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a great place to find these resources.Refer to the Portfolio Project milestone rubric in the Module 3 folder for more information on the expectations for this assignment.

CYBER SECURITY and the internet of things, (qualitatively) Rather than writing a full-length literature review for your topic, you will practice developing your theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic in this assignment and then develop your literature review funnel for upcoming assignment 15.1.                              The purpose of the theoretical framework is to tie the dissertation together. As the researcher, you should approach the proposed research from a theory or set of theories that provide the backdrop for the work (researchers do not create theory; they use established theory in which to embed their work). This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile. Directions:  Review the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment.  Sample Theoretical Framework.pdf Rubric for Theoretical Framework.docx Develop a 1 page (more is fine) theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic.  Consider (but do NOT directly answer) the following questions when you write your theoretical framework:  Is the theoretical foundation strong? Are the theoretical sources apparent? Are they appropriate for the topic? Do they need further explanation?
