Assignment 03 – Creating a data analysis report

This is a group assignment. Continue with the research question you had chosen in class.

Use AI iteratively to help you create a report.

Tasks

  • Think in terms of two variables (\(x\) and \(y\)).
    • Pick a single variable or a combined index of variables
    • Pick a GDP variable
    • Think about a causal link.
  • Create one carefully designed graph to illustrate the relationship (Graph 1)
  • At each step, explain your choices/decisions (ie why you chose a certain variable)
  • Create a Conclusion paragraph where you summarize your work and results in 80-100 words.
  • create another graph to show heterogeneity of country size groups using population (Graph 2)
  • Run a regression and interpret the coefficient. Make sure they are precise.

To submit

  1. report of maximum 1-1.5 page in .pdf format (including exhibits) (lastname_firstname_dawai_week03_report.pdf) (12p)
  2. your code (or aprovide a link). (4p)
  3. Text: What advice would you give to a fellow data analysis student on using AI to create a report? (lastname_firstname_dawai_week03_advice.txt) (4p) – List 2–3 pieces of advice based on your own experience using AI for this specific task.
  • Upload your report to the student folder called Reports at moodle or similar service if applicable. This is for the next class — each group will read another groups report and discuss the good and bad aspects of the report.

AI use restrictions

  • For the report, use AI as your assistant, use it as input not as output. Don’t submit an AI-generated report as such, always author, review, edit.
  • Do not use AI to help you generate the advice. We want to hear your personal examples and reflections, not AI-generated suggestions.
