AMS2640 Statistical Computing in Practice
Project Guideline
(I) Project Introduction
Students are required to form groups and work together. Each group should have 3 - 5 students from the same session. Students will be randomly assigned into a group if they fail to form a group on or before the deadline. A Group ID will be assigned to each group once the group formation is finalized. Students must provide the correct Group ID on all submissions.
Database will be provided on Moodle. Based on the given database, students should select a dataset and record your choice of selection on Moodle, design the background and objectives of the project. Students should apply statistical methodologies to analyze the selected dataset and present appropriate results. Calculations are expected to be completed with Base SAS/ SAS Studio.
(II) Project Assessment Criteria
The total marks of the project are 100. The project assessment criteria include three components:
(a) Group Presentation (30%) (b) Written Report (50%)
(c) Peer Evaluation (20%)
The group/individual performance will be assessed according to the aforementioned components with assessment forms as shown in Annexes 1-3.
(a) Group Presentation (30%)
The presentation must be conducted in English.
The length of the presentation is 20 minutes for each group (including Q&A session). Members of the same group will be assessed individually. The submission of the presentation file should be final (i.e. no further amendments is allowed after the submission). Presentation schedule will be announced after group formation is finalized.

|
(i) Cover Page |
Project name, module code and title, name and student ID of group members, group ID, and name of module instructor |
|
(ii) Introduction |
Background of dataset, table of variable attributes and descriptions |
|
(iii) Objective |
Objective(s) of analysis |
|
(iv) Methodology and Results |
Demonstrate use of topics introduced in class or any additional methods, summarize results in a clean manner |
|
(v) Conclusion and Discussion |
Conclude relevant results, discuss the limitation and further possibility of study |
|
(vi) Appendix |
Indexed list of figures and tables (if necessary) |
|
(vii) Reference |
Detailed references and endnote of the report |
|
(viii) VeriGuide Report |
Please submit the AMS2640_Report_GroupID.pdf file to Moodle for generating online VeriGuide report. Hard copy is not required. |

(c) Peer Evaluation (20%)
Each student must submit the peer evaluation form to the instructor in confidence. In the peer evaluation form, students have to
(i) indicate their individual contribution to the Report,
(ii) give a score of 0 (lowest) to 20 (highest) and provide written comments to other group members to reflect their contributions to the Report and the Presentation.
The instructor will meet with all of the group members individually if any abnormality is observed in the peer evaluation assessment. Student will receive 0 marks if s/he fails to submit the peer evaluation form on time.
