These are two final project papers I completed during my sophomore year of college, for STAT 292 (Inferential Statistics) and DASC 201 (Intro to Data Science).
Historical Weather Analysis: Kyiv, Ukraine — STAT 292#
For my inferential statistics paper, I pulled 85 years of historical daily temperature data from Kyiv, Ukraine and used R to analyze whether the city has gotten warmer over time.
Running Training Study: The Islands — DASC 201#
For my intro to data science project, I designed and ran an experiment on The Islands — a virtual population platform used for teaching statistics and research methods. I recruited 40 virtual subjects, assigned them to different running training plans, and measured whether the training affected their aerobic fitness. The results were surprising and not what I expected based on my own experience as a collegiate runner.
