Course project

Project outline

Please email me by 4 November a 1 page outline for your course project. Include

• a paragraph describing your objective (e.g. optimize a process, investigate the effect of robust preprocessing on several datasets)
• the data you have available (see some potential data sources below)
• how you plan to use latent variables methods (and possibly other methods) in your data analysis plan

Data sources/ideas

These data there are plenty of freely available data sets

• http://kaggle.com contains some excellent, real-world data sets
• http://data.gov
• http://toronto.ca/open
• Landsat image data
• I collect some smaller teaching datasets on my own website: http://datasets.connectmv.com
• I have other industrial-scale data sets available, which I can offer, depending on your topic.
