Unique cultural products
The listing of references/sources is NOT expected or required, and you should not quote any outside materials.
Aliens from another planet want to visit the Earth in order to trade for some of our unique cultural products. Their homeworld prizes beer and and sorghum-based alcohol, so the aliens arrange for one space shuttle to visit San Marcos, California and another space shuttle to visit Maotai, China. The team of aliens on board each of the spaceships has spent years in space mastering the local language and cultural traditions for their respective destinations.
The aliens are planning to land in San Marcos and Maotai tomorrow. Unfortunately, their space shuttles unexpectedly crash into a Tesla Roadster outside of Earth’s orbit, which their advanced telescopes had not previously detected as a risk. As a result, the two shuttles are forced to swap their landing approaches, with the China- trained team sent to San Marcos, California and the U.S.-trained team sent to Maotai, China.
Data modeling processes
Select one of the four data approaches:
Descriptive Analytics,
Diagnostic Analytics,
Predictive Analytics, or
Prescriptive Analytics.
Select a data approach within one of these and then provide an example of when this approach will be utilized. For example, when would artificial intelligence or machine learning be used in an accounting problem? Another example is where do you see descriptive statics (descriptive analytics)? And, when is profiling (diagnostic analytics) appropriate?
