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
- report of maximum 1-1.5 page in .pdf format (including exhibits) (lastname_firstname_dawai_week03_report.pdf) (12p)
- your code (or aprovide a link). (4p)
- 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 Reportsat 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.
