Principal Component Analysis For Predicting The Party Of The Legislators, Afsana Mimi
Principal Component Analysis For Predicting The Party Of The Legislators, Afsana Mimi
Publications and Research
In Spring 2020, I did a project, "Decision Tree Predicting the Party of Legislators," and construct a decision tree model to predict legislators' parties' based on their votes. We also use this model to identify legislators who frequently voted against their parties. We used the legislators' roll call votes, Office of Clerk U.S. House of Representatives Data Sets (Categorical values) collected in 2018 and 2019. In this new project, We study the 2018 and 2019 vote data using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The goal is to find a (compressed) model using unsupervised learning to distinguish the legislators' parties, and PCA …

Ocean observing systems are well-recognized as platforms for long-term monitoring of near-shore and remote locations in the global ocean. High-quality observatory data is freely available and accessible to all members of the global oceanographic community—a democratization of data that is particularly useful for early career scientists (ECS), enabling ECS to conduct research independent of traditional funding models or access to laboratory and field equipment. The concurrent collection of distinct data types with relevance for oceanographic disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, and geology yields a unique incubator for cutting-edge, timely, interdisciplinary research. These data are both an opportunity and an incentive …
Sensor Data Analysis In Smart Buildings, Manuel A. Mane Penton
Sensor Data Analysis In Smart Buildings, Manuel A. Mane Penton
Publications and Research
Data analysis and Machine Learning are destined to evolve the current technology infrastructure by solving technology and economy demands present mainly in developed cities like New York. This research proposes a machine learning (ML) based solution to alleviate one of the main issues that big buildings such as CUNY campuses have, that is the waste of energy resources. The analysis of data coming from the readings of different deployed sensors such as CO2, humidity and temperature can be used to estimate occupancy in a specific room and building in general. The outcome of this research established a relationship between the …
Using Data Mining To Identify The Most Influential Factors In Training Results, Xiaoqing Wu, Daanial Ahmad
Using Data Mining To Identify The Most Influential Factors In Training Results, Xiaoqing Wu, Daanial Ahmad

Data Science is used as a tool to find hidden facts in the data. We want to find out what factors such as ‘AGE’, ‘TAX’, ‘PUPIL-TEACHER RATIO’, ‘PER-CAPITA INCOME’ contribute the most to housing prices. To answer this question, we studied the dataset of “Boston Houses Prices”. By applying the Lasso Regression (a Data Mining Technique) on the data set of “Boston Houses Prices” we identified the influential factors in the linear model. As a conclusion we found that there were six inputs which contributed the most to the prices of houses and those inputs are as follow: (i) CRIM-per …
Philosophical Perspectives, Jochen Albrecht
Philosophical Perspectives, Jochen Albrecht
Publications and Research
This entry follows in the footsteps of Anselin’s famous 1989 NCGIA working paper entitled “What is special about spatial?” (a report that is very timely again in an age when non-spatial data scientists are ignorant of the special characteristics of spatial data), where he outlines three unrelated but fundamental characteristics of spatial data. In a similar vein, I am going to discuss some philosophical perspectives that are internally unrelated to each other and could warrant individual entries in this Body of Knowledge. The first one is the notions of space and time and how they have evolved in …
