馃憠Google Profit Data Analysis
Data Description
This analysis examines a company's profit data, which includes years of both profits and losses. We choose a simulated dataset reflecting a trend of profit fluctuations over time.
Approach
When profits show continuous growth, modeling focuses on error or deviations from predicted profit values. For fluctuating profits, with years of gains and losses, we use data from each period directly to observe volatility and predict potential future scenarios.
Steps and Calculations
1. Identify average profit or loss across years.
2. For increasing profit trends, calculate the error margin around expected profit using variance or standard deviation.
3. For uncertain profit patterns, directly analyze fluctuations year-to-year to estimate likely future variability.
Results and Insights
The model provides insights into financial health by capturing trends and fluctuations. This analysis helps forecast the likelihood of profitability or loss in future periods, aiding in strategic planning and risk management.
馃憠Accident Data Analysis
Data Description
The accident data records the number of occurrences at different points in time. Using a Poisson distribution, we calculate the average number of accidents over a period.
Modeling with Poisson Distribution
The Poisson distribution estimates the probability of a given number of accidents within a set time frame. With this, we determine the likelihood of a particular count of accidents occurring at any moment.
Steps and Calculations
1. Determine the mean accident rate from the dataset, representing 位 in the Poisson formula:
P(X = k) = (位^k * e^-位) / k!
2. Calculate probabilities for different accident counts to check fit with actual data.
Results and Insights
This model helps in understanding accident patterns and probability distribution, which can improve preventative measures and allocation of resources in high-risk areas.
馃憠Meteorite Hit Data Analysis
Data Description
This dataset captures meteorite hits on Earth. We analyze a subset of 100 data points to model meteorite hits per day, using either Poisson or exponential distributions.
Modeling with Poisson and Exponential Distributions
Poisson Distribution: This is used to estimate the average meteorite hits per day, treating hits as discrete events. This model predicts how often meteorites strike Earth on any given day.
Exponential Distribution: The exponential model focuses on the time interval between hits, offering insights into the rate of occurrence. The formula for the exponential distribution is f(x; 位) = 位 * e^-位x, where 位 is the daily hit rate.
Steps and Calculations
1. Calculate the average daily hit rate for Poisson analysis.
2. Use this rate to find the probability of specific hit counts (Poisson) or time intervals (Exponential) between hits.
Results and Insights
These models can help predict future meteorite activity, aiding in risk assessments and resource allocation for space observation and impact prevention.
