**Click here to register!**As we mentioned before, the main purpose of this case study competition is to provide an opportunity for students to use their skills in working with and modeling data in a more broad setting than is typically allowed in a classroom setting.
Instructions
Teams: Each team must consist of between 3 and 5 BYU Undergraduate students. Multiple teams can consult one with another in order to help guide, teach, or discuss, but the final product should be work created by each individual team.
**If you want to participate and you don't have a team yet , you can find one by clicking here.**Data and Methods: There will be data provided for you that will be sufficient to answer the question, but there are no limitations as to what data you can use. If you find other public data relevant to the problem you are trying to answer, you can include it in your analysis and your conclusions.
You are not required to use any specific method. An advanced machine learning method will be weighted as equally as a useful figure as long as they are used correctly, are well justified, and effectively answer the problem you are given.
Presentation: A presentation will consist of a maximum of 5 slides and will take a maximum of 10 minutes. The following is just a recommendation, it's not required.
- State the problem you have been given.
- Describe the data you use and its appropriateness for answering the questions
- Describe the modeling and/or summarizing efforts that were taken, along with useful figures or relevant model results
- Include a summary and conclusions that directly relate to the problem you have been given.
Each individual in the team must contribute to the presentation. Presentation skills will be evaluated as part of the competition.
