1. Group:For this project you may work in a group of your choosing.Your group may be no larger than four.You may work individually on this project.

1. Data:Each group should select a realistic and interesting data set consisting of at least fifty (50) cases.To facilitate your interpretations of regression results the data should relate to a circumstance you are familiar with.Data can come from a published source, be drawn from your work where appropriate, or be gathered by you in a direct observation or a designed experiment.Your data should include a continuous dependent variable (y), two continuous independent variables (X₁ and X₂), and one nominal or ordinal independent variable occurring in two levels (X₃).One basic example of such a data set might be found in the warehouse of a company which ships small orders to individual consumers who purchase products via the Internet.The principal concern would be shipments which arrive late (beyond a predetermined target date) to customers.A regression model potentially could be developed in an attempt to explain major causes of late arrivals.One data set with variable notations for such a circumstance might be:

Note:You’ll have fewer difficulties in completing your project if cases of your X₃ variable are mostly evenly split between its two levels.In the example above a perfect split would mean 25 cases with UPS as the predominant carrier and 25 cases with Fedex as the predominate.Data sets more out of balance than a 35/15 split on the X₃ variable are not acceptable.

1. Analysis:Using Minitab, Excel, or any combination conduct a complete multiple regression analysis of the data including model building and residual analysis.Your deliverable will be in a Microsoft Office-compatible format (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx format preferred; no .pdf or .zip files, please). In constructing your deliverable you will include the following:

• A cover page with the names of all persons deserving credit for the work.
• A citation for the source of the data analyzed (if coming from a published source), or a description of the resource used (if self-gathered data) or of the observation or experiment conducted to collect the data.
• A clear description of 1) all variables, including a statement of which is the dependent variable, 2) the case used in your data set, 3) the levels represented in your binary independent variable.

• A complete listing of the data used in your project if less than 100 cases are used.If more, a sample of 100 cases is sufficient.
• Regression analyses of the following model combinations:
• For each of the ten required model combination you will provide 1) a written statement of the regression equation with slope and intercept coefficients, 2) a written statement of the independent variables used in the regression model, and 3) the basic standard output of the regression analysis provided by the software you use.
• Select one of your model combinations which you believe to be your “best fit” model.Please remember that “best fit” may not mean good fit.For that “best fit” model you will provide:

Three simple regression models of the form (y, X₁), (y, X₂), and (y, X₃).

Three multiple regression models using two independent variables of the form (y, X₁, X₂), (y, X₁, X₃), and (y, X₂, X₃).

One full main-effects multiple regression model of the form (y, X₁, X₂, X₃).

One multiple regression model using an interaction term of the form (y, X₁, X₂, X₁X₂).

Two simple regression models using squared terms to investigate the presence of non-linear relationships.These models will be of the form (y, X₁, X₁²) and (y, X₂, X₂²).

A detailed statement of your justifications for selecting this model as “best fit”.

An assessment of whether your model violates any of the common regression assumptions for linearity, independence of errors, normality of errors, and equality of error variances (L.I.N.E.).

Written interpretations of the model’s slope and intercept coefficients.

Estimation and prediction intervals resulting from independent variable values you choose.

for this assignment review the lecture and answer the questions:

This week, we are talking about some of the very basic concepts of Child Development. One of these concepts is “diversity” – specifically, how diverse environments can influence the developing child. Remember, while development is due to a combination of nature and nurture, environment (nurture) can have a strong influence.

Assignment below:

Give a detailed example of how your own or another family you know may know, illustrates two of the characteristics (roles, rules, independence, etc.) I spoke of in my lecture. Define the terms you use and cite your sources.

**The lecture is attached below

please respond with 300 words

Instructions:

Create name for your company

Create and design a brochure for a fictitious moving company. Copy must written by you so spell check is a must. You can research other moving companies to get ideas on what types of copy is needed. Brochure size and layout must be approved by instructor before thumbnails can be done. Must be at least 4 pages. Photos can be a) taken by you, b) purchased on a stock photography site c) downloaded from a free royalty free photo site. Must supply the website that photo(s) came from.

– Select three MPA(Public administration) competencies and two primary area competencies. These competencies should be clearly identified in your presentation.

• For each competency, you must create PowerPoint slides which explain how the MPA program has enabled you to master proficiency in these competencies.
• Your slides must include citations and references using the Turabian Writing Style. Some sources that are helpful are authors such as Box, Rainey, Tocqueville

The PowerPoint must be professional and original, please see attached below for reference:

Grading Rubric:

grade this assignment on the basis of whether or not you have successfully completed the assignment, and met the following:

• The presentation is well organized.
• The content knowledge is acceptable and demonstrates an adequate understanding of the subject matter encompassed by the competencies.
• demonstrates how the MPA program has enabled him/her to master a basic level of proficiency by identifying courses in the program associated with the competencies.
• is able to explain how the theoretical and practical aspects of the question are related.
• demonstrates how the competency is related to his/her professional experience.
• The PowerPoint is clear and logical.

Competencies:

MPA Competencies

(Select three of the following.)

1. Analyze the theoretical and practical underpinnings, knowledge base and complexities of public affairs (as defined by the Hauptmann School)
2. Justify responsibilities of professionals as citizens in a free and democratic society, and in the world
3. Demonstrate development of key leadership skills, including interpersonal and cross-cultural communication and teamwork

Criminal Justice Administration

Primary competencies

1. Identify and offer a critique of various approaches to criminal justice administration and management in the United States. As a result of your critique, propose best practices or recommendations to enhance effective criminal justice administration.

2. Using plausible terrorism scenarios, discuss how to plan for, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorism threats and actions against the United States. In doing so, discuss the patterns and trends of terrorism, including emerging methods, tactics, issues, and technologies.

3. Identify and offer a critique of the common theories of the public policy process and emergency management. As a result of your critique, propose an advocacy strategy for developing a public policy related to a current issue in disaster and emergency management.
