Need help with an Assignment about Data Modeling
Im trying to study for my Business course and I need some help to understand this question.
For this Assignment, you will return to your role as an intern at Nutri Mondo, an organization that uses data science to address issues related to food insecurities and other food-related issues. Read the message from the director of Nutri Mondo, Susana Maciel, to set the context for your assignment:
SUBJECT: REPORTS
FROM: SUSANA.MACIEL@NUTRIMONDO.ORG
TO: YOU
Hello,Thank you for keeping me up to date on how the data understanding and data preparation phases were going. I am assuming that I will get to see some visualizations soon on the effects of food insecurity. Please let me know how they evaluate the models they are building. It will help me understand some of the models that they ultimately go with.
Also, I know that this data set is from the U.S. government. We work with several communities across Latin America and South America regarding food insecurity and other similar issues. I would be curious to know if you would like to find a data set related to an issue that affects your community. Of course, if you have other interests, I would like to know what challenges you would like to solve with data science. Later on, you can send me any data visualizations that you find interesting.
Looking forward to your reports,
Regards,
Susana Maciel
Director
Nutri Mondo
To prepare for this assignment, review this weeks Learning Resources. Then write a report to your director about data modeling and how to evaluate models. Your report must answer the following:
- What is the purpose of data modeling and what does it accomplish?
- Why does modeling come after data scientists understand and prepare their data?
- How does a data scientist ensure that modeling responds to the original business understanding?
- What were the processes that the data science team at Nutri Mondo is using to evaluate the models they created?
Your report should be 810 paragraphs in length.

Week 4 SPHE323 Assignment
I need help with a Article Writing question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
For your Week 4 assignment you will develop a year-long (52 week) training program for the athlete you began training for the Week 2 Athlete Analysis Assignment. For Week 4 you will be developing the overall periodization plan by determining what phases and cycles will be followed working back from the competitive season or the last competition (or signature event) or event your athlete competes in. The length of each phase and cycle as well as the specific workouts within them will vary depending on the sport/event.
For Assignments 3 and 4 you will be developing the details within them in regards to the specific training variables, workouts, and competitions.
Your year-long program will be based on the athlete analysis you completed for
Assignment 1.
Create the off-season, pre-season and in-season phases/cycles for the athlete using the principles of periodization.
These should include the duration of each part of the yearly plan in number of weeks that each part is followed with an overview of the relative volume, intensity, and energy systems emphasized.
The rationale must explained in at least one paragraph for each phase and/or cycle. Furthermore, any assessments planned during or following each phase should be explained with a detailed rationale (and supporting references).
You can also provide a chart for each “season” of the schedule as way of organizing it of which the details will be filled in from Assignments 3 and 4.
Please use at least 5 appropriate outside sources to help you develop this program and the paper will be submitted as one combined single WORD document in APA format.

Project: Promoting Health Care Quality
I dont understand this Health & Medical question and need help to study.
Project: Promoting Health Care Quality
Measuring and assessing quality provides a foundation for identifying needs for improvement, developing effective interventions, and then monitoring progress toward desired results.
In the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text, the authors assert that an effort to improve quality calls for setting outcome and performance targets (goals and expectations) beginning with the end in mind, and then formulating initiatives and actions (processes) that can serve as a bridge to take the organization from its current performance to its desired performance (p. 182).
Having this end in mind can provide justification for dedicating valuable resources toward the effort, and help to lay a clear, concrete path that takes the organization from uncovering gaps between current performance and evidence-based targets to actually achieving those goals.
In this section of the Course Project, you focus on what you would measureand how you would measure itrelative to your previously identified quality improvement issue. Note: This section of the Course Project will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for this course.
To prepare:
- Review the Learning Resources. Also conduct a search of the literature related to your selected quality improvement issue and complete the Evidence Matrix (provided in this weeks Learning Resources).
- Evaluate the evidence presented in the research literature and the quality standards proposed by various organizations, including the IOMs six aims for quality improvement.
- Based on this review and your knowledge of the organization that you have selected, determine appropriate measures and indicators of performance related to your identified quality improvement issue.
- Consider how you could gather and use historical evidence of the organizations performance related to the quality improvement issue. Also consider methods for gathering and assessing current quantitative and qualitative data, including those currently in use by the organization (e.g., chart audit data, staff surveys, quality indicators that are monitored, observations). If possible, examine actual data to assess your selected organizations performance related to the issue.
- Think about what, specifically, you would like to achieve related to this issue. Establish realistic, evidence-based quality performance targets.
- Analyze gap(s) between the organizations current performance and the performance targets.
- As you do this, you may wish to create a graphic organizer/alignment chart for your own use that illustrates:
- The measures and indicators that you would evaluate
- Current and historical data related to this quality issueeither actual data or methods for how you would collect and analyze the data
- Methods for collecting and analyzing data in the future (including when you would do this)
- Realistic, evidence-based targets
Additional instructions for Section 3 are presented in Week 7. To complete this Assignment, you will write a paper introducing your quality improvement plan. This Assignment is due by Day 7 of Week 8
Through your work on Section 3 of the Course Project, you have examined the gap between current performance and evidence-based targets and considered how addressing this gap relates to organizational priorities and large-scale aims for quality improvement.
In this section of the Course Project, you begin to think about quality improvement strategies that could help to bridge this gap. As noted in the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text, this is referred to as performance-driven planning.
Since the publication of the Institute of Medicines report Crossing the Quality Chasm, a good deal of attention has been paid to the need to examine processes that contribute to outcomes (Ernst, Wooldridge, Conway, Dressman, Weiland, Tucker, and Seid). As the USAID has noted, interventions will not create the desired outcome to improve the quality of care unless the overall process of care delivery is also improved. Therefore, attention to process redesign is a central aspect of cultivating strategies for improvement.
To prepare:
- Refer to the modified Donabedian model (access, structure, process, outcome, and patient experience) presented in Chapter 9 of the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text.
- Recall the performance targets that you identified for Section 3 (in Week 6). What does the recommendation that performance-driven planning should begin with the end in mind suggest given your established goals?
- Review the information presented in Chapter 9 of the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text, and think about how you would assess the organizations strengths and weaknesses related to the performance gaps you identified in Section 3 (Week 6).
- Based on the above, start to think of specific evidence-based strategies that could be implemented to close/minimize the performance gaps you have identified. Consider both interventions (what) and processes (how). Focus on strategies that are supported by the latest research and could create systems-level change. These may be tentative for now, but be sure to identify at least one that specifically lends itself to a change in process (i.e., practice, protocol, pathway, activity).
Additional instructions for Section 4 are presented next week. To complete this Assignment, you will create a process map and write a paper describing quality improvement strategies. This Assignment is due by Day 7 of Week 8

Week 6 Factorial ANOVA Problem.
Im working on a Statistics exercise and need support.
Week 6 Factorial ANOVA Problem.
A school psychologist is asked to assess the effectiveness of three instructional approaches to teaching reading to second grade elementary school children. The different approaches are whole language, phonic, and blended instruction. The Whole Language Approach is a method of teaching children to read by recognizing words as whole pieces of language. The phonics approach teaches children to decode words by sounds, rather than recognizing whole words. And the Blended Approach incorporates elements of both the whole language and phonics.
A sample of 15 boys and 15 girls are randomly assigned to one of the three teaching instructional conditions. Therefore, five boys and five girls were randomly assigned to one of the three instructional conditions.
Following 10 weeks of daily reading instruction, all students were administered the Elementary Reading Test (ERT; Smith and Jones, 2007)). Therefore, in the present study Instructional Condition (i.e., approach to teaching reading) is the Independent Variable, Sex is a Subject Variable (and possible moderator variable) and ERT score is the Dependent variable.
Using the attached data file, conduct a 3 (Instructional Condition) x 2 (Sex) Factorial ANOVA to examine the main and interaction effects for Instructional Approach and Sex.
Here are the elements of this Assignment.
1) Create the Null and Alternative Hypotheses. See my examples;
2) Conduct the Factorial ANOVA, including. Levene’s test, Simple Effects Analyses (the simple effect of instructional method for sex), Post Hoc Tests (Bonferroni). and Effect Size (Eta-Square)
3) Write an APA formatted Summary of the Results. The first thing that you should do is conduct Levenes test for equality of variances, and report the findings (state whether the data meets the assumption of homogeneity of variances, be sure to present the appropriate statistics to support your conclusion.). Then, be sure to interpret the main and interaction effect. Youll find that the interaction of Sex x Instructional Condition is statistically significant, therefore you must conduct and interpret the findings for the Simple Effects Analyses – that is: a) The Simple Effect for Instructional Condition for Males, and b) the Simple Effects for Instructional Condition for females. If either of these simple effects are significant (and they will be) conduct Bonferronis Post Hoc tests to determine within each Sex which means differ significantly. That is, within each Sex which reading approach produces the best/worst outcomes. Be sure to report and interpret the effect sizes (Eta-Square (?2). Include the appropriate Tables and Figure (Graph) – See my sample summary). Please keep in mind that you must fully explain the results. I’ve provided a sample summary to show you what to include in the summary, how to present the statistics in the summary, tables, and figure (graph). Model your summaries after mine.
