The Analytics Practicum module (ANLY482) is a compulsory module for those who are taking the Analytics Second Major program. It involves a project that assess the students' ability to apply analytics in real-time events extensively. These projects come from both the academics and industry. Students can also get a good sense of how analytics are used in their field of study.
Welcome to the Analytics Practicum (ANLY482)! -

Social Media & Public Opinion | Unstructured data is challenging and when it comes to unstructured textual data the analytical toolkit needs more tools! This project aims at quantifying and studying the trends in human emotions expressed by Twitter users over a period of time. The data-set provided comprises of social media data in form of tweets published by Singapore-based Twitter users over several months. Individual teams have to come up with their granular analysis of change in mood trends, periods of significance (may be weekends or any weekday) and other noteworthy actionable insights coming out of analysis done. It is expected that the results are presented as a web-based visualization that summarizes the trend of the happiness level over time and allows the inspection of factors associated with the happiness level at a certain point in time. Also, it should provide the end-users with various drill-down features to choose from while interacting with the end system.
Types of analysis: Text mining and analytics is a vast topic so to help you get started we suggest you look into techniques like Sentiment analysis, word stemming, word frequency analysis, social network analysis (centrality, network diameters and density etc.), Influencer analysis and visual analytics techniques. File:ReferenceDocument01.docx
Suggested Platforms: SAS EM, Python, R, Gephi, NodeXL (Microsoft) Libraries to explore: SAS EM sentiment analysis package, NLTK tools & libraries (both Python 2.7 and R), D3.js, C3.js Other recommendations: No prior knowledge of any courses is assumed while designing this project but prior knowledge of Social and Contextual Analytics, Visual Analytics will be good for taking up advanced analysis during project related tasks. Recommended Team Composition: Students are free to come up with their own teams but forming a team with diverse backgrounds and skill-sets is highly recommended. |

Emergency Department and Queuing Theory | Queuing theory and optimization has been a problem of interest in the field of computer science, operations and analytics for a while now. It finds applications in the fields of traffic engineering, telecommunications, banks, hospitals and many other operational research related use cases. various models and algorithms have been constructed so that queue lengths and waiting times can be predicted.
The current project applies the knowledge of queuing theory and hospital related domain knowledge in dynamically managing queues in emergency department. |

GeoVisual Analytics Tool for population health analysis |
Health Promotion Board(HPB) is established to promote national health status in Singapore. It looks after the entire population, making sure that health care is available to Singapore citizens when they are in need. One objective of HPB’s is to make health care facilities accessible to everyone and this project aims to define the accessibility of these facilities to Singapore population.

Time-series Analysis on Singapore Public Transportation Train Network |
The adoption of Ezlink smart card technology allows transportation analyst to discover new insights of the consumption and lifestyle of their commuters’ in the transportation network. As smart cards contain rich data and all the transactions are in temporal sequences, it gives an opportunity to analyse the complex and voluminous time-series data using time-series data mining techniques. This is particularly interesting as there is a need to transform these rich data into actionable information and knowledge, which users can understand. Therefore, this project seeks to explores the problem of the transportation network and validate against the implementation current policy of the free rides and discusses the use of time-series data mining techniques to achieve insights that will provides a picture on whether the policy matches with the findings.

Come back after 30 days! |
At the moment of discharging from hospital, Hospitals have been studying about the likelihood of patients readmitting within 30 days starting on the day of discharge primarily to reduce costs and operational overhead. It has grown to be a governmental concern as health systems, especially in UK, has decided to incentivize hospitals that abide by the rules and penalize those who did not manage to reduce their number of 30 days readmissions. Furthermore, for governments with welfare systems that provide for health care, patients readmitted within 30 days may be an avoidable expense if the hospitals were able to identify such patients during the first diagnosis. At the same time, various researchers claimed their superiority over other studies. Even though LACE (Length of stay, Acuity of admission, Comorbidity, Emergency department visits) index has been acknowledged as the gold standard in prediction of 30 day readmissions rates, authors claimed that their model perform better, often with caveats. The outcomes of such a study allow hospitals to identify patients with a higher risk of readmissions and prescribe interventions in the form of house visits, or a wide-spectrum treatment in order to mitigate the problem. Data analytics, especially predictive ones, enable hospitals to do so. If effectively implemented, hospitals can reduce their costs and focus their limited resources to prevent avoidable readmissions. Consequently, hospitals may be able to stretch their resources to care for a larger number of patients, instead of serving readmitted patients.. Objective: To predict the likelihood of a patient readmitting within 30 days using 2 models (i.e. decision tree & multivariable logistic regression), along with its corresponding ROC curves to determine the predictive power. Suggested Platforms: SAS EM, JMP, RapidMiner, Tableau

Kolaveri Di Social Analytics Project | "This Kolaveri Di" is a Tamil song from the soundtrack of Tamil film 3. It was written and sung by actor Dhanush and composed by music director Anirudh Ravichander. The song was officially released on 16 November 2011, and it instantly became viral on social networking sites for its quirky "Tanglish" lyrics. Soon, the song became the most searched YouTube video in India and an internet phenomenon across Asia. Within a few weeks, YouTube honoured the video with a Recently Most Popular Gold Medal Award for receiving a large number of hits in a short time. The objective of this project is to identify the key element(s) that explains the success of this video, particularly for its capability in drawing listeners and spreading its viral effect over the online domain. The analysts are required to submit a report, detailing out these elements along with some recommendations that could help to replicate its success. | Prof. Seema Chokshi Lecturer of Information Systems, Programme Head, SMU Undergraduate Second Major in Analytics |

Visualization of Consumer Satisfaction | Consumer research has been a hot topic. Businesses and government agencies are interested to know the satisfaction levels of Singaporean consumers and effectively take actions that can create valuable and meaningful impact in the society. This project explores these satisfaction levels. It uses the respondent level data from the Satisfaction Index of Singapore (2008-2013). The objective of this project is to produce a dashboard that shows trends of consumer satisfaction visually. | Prof. Seema Chokshi Lecturer of Information Systems, Programme Head, SMU Undergraduate Second Major in Analytics |
