Key steps include data acquisition, initial data analysis, data cleaning, and exploratory data analysis (EDA). The deliverable is a report detailing your findings, complete with charts and tables. Your report will be evaluated on the thoroughness of your EDA, your understanding of the data, and the clarity of your explanations.
This week, you will develop a basic financial forecast model. Using the dataset you analyzed in Week 1, build a simple forecast model for a financial indicator of your choice. Your DOC report should explain your model, justify its design, and present your forecasts. The steps include choosing an indicator, designing your model, implementing the model, and analyzing the forecast. The evaluation will be based on your model's justification, its implementation, and your analysis of the forecast results.

Your report should identify potential risks, assess their impact, and propose mitigation strategies. Key steps include risk identification, risk impact assessment, and risk mitigation strategy formulation. Your report will be evaluated on your ability to identify risks, assess their impacts, and propose viable mitigation strategies.
The objective this week is to conduct hypothesis testing on your financial dataset. Develop a hypothesis related to your dataset, conduct relevant statistical tests, and prepare a report in a DOC file detailing your methodology and findings. Key steps include hypothesis formulation, statistical testing, and interpretation of results. Your report will be evaluated based on the relevance of your hypothesis, the appropriateness of your statistical tests, and the clarity of your explanations.
This week, your task is to create data visualizations using your financial dataset. The goal is to create meaningful and insightful visualizations that reveal patterns in the data. Your deliverable is a DOC file with your visualizations and a detailed explanation of each. Key steps include deciding on what data to visualize, creating the visualizations, and interpreting the visualizations. Your report will be evaluated based on the relevance, quality, and clarity of your visualizations and explanations.
The final task is to prepare a comprehensive report of your work over the previous weeks. Your DOC report should include a summary of your findings, insights, and recommendations for future analysis. Key steps include reviewing your previous work, summarizing your findings, drawing insights, and making recommendations. Your report will be evaluated based on its comprehensiveness, clarity, and the relevance of your insights and recommendations.
