Assignment #2: Quantitative Analysis, Part 1 (20%) – Submit Assignment

Hide Submission Folder Information

Assignment #2 – Team Project (20% of the grade)

In this assignment students will go through the steps to set up a quantitative research study. The Instructor will divide the class into groups to complete the assignment. Each group should submit 1 report.

Step #1: Topic selection:In The “Topic Selection – Assignment Drop Box In Weekly Module 4 and in the Assignment Folder), add your topic and the name of the data set you plan to use for your quantitative research assignment for Instructor approval.

Students are required to use one of the data sets.

Data set:

Minnesota Healthcare Database.xlsx

Medicare National Data by County

MN Hospital Report Data by Care Unit FY2013

MN HCCIS Imaging Procedures 2013

MEPS Dental Files

MEPS Impatient Stay Database

Step #2: Quantitative data analysis design

Using the topic approved by the Instructor, class teams should:

a.) Select a topic (as a team) and state the hypothesis

b.) Conduct a literature review on the selected topic and summarize at least five scholarly sources

c.) Select one of the above data sets to use to conduct a statistical analysis

d) Identify relevant variables (two or more) and justify your choices

e) Work as a team to choose the statistical method you plan to use for your analysis (Refer to content in week 3 on Biostatistics for information on various statistical methods you can choose from)

f) Identify statistical software your team will use to run your statistical analysis focusing on RStudio as the main software (you can use any other software such as SAS, STATA or SPSS)

Step # 3: Analyze the data, state your conclusions and support them

a) students should identify relevant variables and justify the choices

b) analyze the data, state your conclusions and support them

Student’s arguments or positions are well-supported with evidence from the readings/experience; ideas go beyond the course material and recognize implications and extensions of the material and concepts to the real life and industry.

Student’s arguments or positions are mostly supported by evidence from the readings and course content; ideas presented demonstrate student’s understanding of the material and concepts and may relate to the real life and industry occasionally

Student’s arguments are more often based on opinion or unclear views than on position grounded in the readings of material or external sources of material

Student’s arguments are frequently illogical and unsubstantiated; student may resort to ad hominem attacks on the author instead of making meaningful application of the material

There is no meaningful attempt to explain or support ideas or the application/examples are superficial and unrelated to the material/industry
