Check out the following announcement

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_assignments/wish/127218450

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those who submitted your 2nd assignment by 28th September,

Here are your 2nd Assignment marks, and the mistakes that you made in your 2nd Assignment:

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_assignments/wish/127243374

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_assignments/wish/127243492

If you would like to improve on your 2nd Assignment marks, you may submit an extra sheet of A4 paper (or more) to my pigeon-hole-mailbox at FCI First Floor. Inside your A4 paper, write down your name, and the relevant info needed to correct the mistakes that you made in your 2nd Assignment.

For example:

if you did not submit the dataset, then write down (or print out) the dataset that you were supposed to submit

if you did not submit any analysis result from Excel, then print out the Excel analysis that you were supposed to submit

if you did not interpret your coefficient of correlation, then write down (or print out) the interpretation of your coefficient of correlation

This is your reward for submitting your 2nd Assignment early. With that said, do submit your corrections as soon as possible, because if you submit after my own deadline to key in your carry marks into MMU's system, there is no way to update your carry marks anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those who have not submitted your 2nd assignment (or tutorial set),

Kindly submit your 2nd assignment (or tutorial set) into my pigeon-hole-mailbox in FCI First Floor by 30th September (4:30pm); after that your marks will be heavily penalized for late submission.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

If you missed our final class on 28th September, or you forgot what is the website for my upcoming Web & Mobile Tech Training (which contains the lesson preview, various demo of what you will learn, the registration form, and many other details), and you are interested in checking it out before the registration deadline, feel free to contact my assistant:

https://www.facebook.com/jessicalowaili

(or drop me a message at https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018)

P.S. feel free to ask me any questions regarding this training that you feel I might have left out that is important for you to know in order to help you decide if this training will benefit you;

Basically, as long as you are dedicated to your success, I am dedicated to your success ;)

P.P.S. to help you appreciate the price-value-ratio of this training more, think about how much you are paying MMU every year for its "resource fee", and what value you received out of it (i.e. how much did the "resource fee" you paid MMU every year actually helped you achieve your dream).

I'm currently marking your tutorial sets. Once I am done marking everyone's submissions, I will announce your final carry marks in this website and MMLS. In the meantime, you can check out your current carry marks at the usual place:

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/116911392

Finally, do remember to complete your 2nd online Quiz in MMLS (i.e. Quiz 4) by 2 Oct 2016

1 hour online quiz

Questions: https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/124555418

Solutions will be released on 3rd October

Happy revision :)

Regarding Week 14, Coursework Submissions, Final Exam, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear all,

Just to inform you that I will be revising on selected topics during Week 14 to help you prepare for your final exam. More direct tips and examples will be given during the class itself.

In the meantime, here are more study materials to help you with Topic 8:

How to verify Topic 8 Solutions using an online Calculator

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_topic_8/wish/125986549

Detailed Explanation on How to Solve Q7 in Quiz 4

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_topic_8/wish/126020745

Also, do remember to complete the following coursework milestones:

Submit your Tutorial Set solutions (hardcopy) during Week 14 Lecture class

Submit your 2nd Assignment (hardcopy) during Week 14 Lecture class

Complete your Quiz 4 (1 hour online quiz in MMLS)

Uploaded in MMLS from 23 Sep until 2 Oct 2016

Questions: https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/124555418

Solutions will be released on 3rd October

Basically, as long as you submit all your remaining coursework milestones on Week 14 Lecture class (28th Sep), everything will go smoothly for all of us, because 28th Sep will be my last class with you.

After that, do revise for your final exam as best as you can, because most of your senior in the previous trimester had very good carry marks, but performed poorly in their final exam (especially Topic 8), which resulted in them mostly getting C instead of A. So, make full use of the EDpuzzle videos, past year exam solutions, solutions for all midterm and quizzes, detailed notes, and other materials in this website. With that said, below is the format of your final exam.

Format of Final Exam (and Supplementary Exam)

You may use any calculator during your Final Exam (i.e. even programmable calculators)

All Tables will be given to you during your Final Exam

i.e. Binomial, Poisson, and Standard Normal

The following Formulae will be given to you during your Final Exam

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/124634627

Answer all 5 questions (all sub-questions are subjective; i.e. there are no multiple choice questions in your final exam)

Q1 (topic 1)

10% of total marks

Hint:

Remember MMU's definition of Statistics

Q2 (topic 2 & 3)

20% of total marks

Revise on:

Five-number summary (and Boxplot)

Stem-and-leaf Diagram

Pie Chart

Grouped Frequency Distribution

Example: https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_topic_3/wish/117022215

Q3 (topic 4)

20% of total marks

Since Topic 4 is very wide, this is what you should focus on:

Probability of various outcomes of rolling Two Dice

Analysis of Expected Profit similar to your 1st Assignment

Three circle Venn Diagrams

Application of Bayes' Theorem similar to Bonus Question #1 in 2nd Quiz

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/118258192

Q4 (topic 5 & 6)

20% of total marks

Hint:

Make sure you understand how to solve every question in Test 2

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/122901322

Besides knowing how to compute the probabilities, mean, and variance of a Binomial, Poisson, and Normal random variable, remember to also know how to compute the probabilities, mean and variance of a general discrete random variable.

Example: https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_topic_5/wish/118316521

Finally, remember how to read the following math notations:

X~B(n,p)

Example: X~B(4,0.25) means that X has a Binomial Distribution with n=4 and p=0.25

X~N(μ,σ²)

Example: X~N(1,4) means that X has a Normal Distribution with μ=1 and σ²=4

Q5 (topic 7 & 8)

30% of total marks

Hint:

Since the formula for the linear correlation coefficient, R, is not given in the final exam, hence you may want to memorize it.

R = SS_xy / sqrt( SS_xx * SS_yy )

All four inferential statistics will be tested in the exams, hence make sure you understand how to solve all of the following hypothesis tests:

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_topic_8/wish/125986549

Finally, since 28th Sep will be my last class with you, I will also be using Week 14 to share with you some stuff that I personally found more useful in life, higher level applications of this subject, some FAQ about the various Degree Specializations offered in FCI (if majority of you are interested), and my upcoming Web & Mobile Tech Training.

Basically, if you want to build an app for a mobile platform (e.g. Android, iOS, Windows Mobile) and a web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) and want them all to be able to communicate with each other via a Web Server (which includes database etc.), and also want your app to give you the potential to earn money online (i.e. payment gateway), I am offering you a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to turn your idea into a reality, because I will be personally guiding you to make sure that your idea turns into a reality, and I am very dedicated to help all my students succeed. I'll explain more about it on 28th Sep. In the meantime, feel free to check out:

Compile a few examples based on students' special interest, then show everyone how all those examples can be solved with Machine Learning.
Show them how all those examples are actually the same "problem".

Demonstrate how Machine Learning uses Topic 1 to 6 to do prediction, using wikipedia's example, so that every student can do the calculation and double check their answer against wikipedia's example.

Goal: get everyone to "feel" how prob & stats are actually related to their respective special interest, and how it can be used as a tool to do predictions in their special interest

Dear all,

Just to inform you that I will be conducting the optional extra class on Friday (Sep 23), because that will be my last extra class. (i.e. there is no extra class on Week 14, so that I can finish marking your assignments before my own deadline). Hence, you do not need to fill up the usual form to attend this optional extra class.

I will be using this optional extra class to discuss how to solve past year exam papers on Topic 7 and 8. So that those who missed their classes in Week 12 can still catch up and do well in the final exam.

As usual, I will be using these optional extra classes to discuss the past year supplementary exam papers that I uploaded at:

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/116910338

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/116910306

https://padlet.com/mmuvictor/DPS5018_notes/wish/116910284

Of course, you can also use these optional extra classes to ask me questions about previous topics, because the purpose I conduct these optional extra classes is to help you succeed in this course :)

Consequently, if you feel that your coursework mark is hurting, and you feel that you need some extra help/guidance, do fully utilize these time slots, okay?

Warm regards,
Victor
