Group work

Note

Written paper: 60 points (code added in separate file) -> project: end of module -> nach der letzten VL: 6 Wochen Zeit.

TODO:

  • schedule
  • topics

See CS109A: Introduction to Data Science projects

-> complete the analyses and explain why it illustrates or complements the contents covered in the course (-> draw inspiration for teaching cases)

Guidelines for the Group Projects

Group Size and Application

  • The group size depends on the difficulty level of the individual project (see project description).
  • Projects can be allocated multiple times.
  • Each participant applies by e-mail for the desired projects. Alternatively, you can already form groups and apply as a group.
  • In every case, please indicate three projects as:
    • Preference 1
    • Preference 2
    • Preference 3
  • Based on the applications, the groups are arranged and projects are assigned.

Group Work and Delivery

  • Each group applies the methods and procedures covered in the teaching sessions. Depending on the project, different focuses have to be set (e.g., for some projects more data preparation, for others more model optimization).
  • All necessary steps for the analysis should be performed in Python.
  • The group work should be documented, explained, and reasoned in a text document, including code fragments that are relevant for understanding (see the Python manual for an example).
  • Each group delivers:
    • the text document, and
    • the corresponding Python files by the announced deadline.
  • The text document has a maximum of 40 pages, including figures and code fragments.
  • The applied methodology is more important for the evaluation than the model results.
