Streaming Data
As Lisa Vaas points out in an eWeek.com article about StreamBase 2.0, "Real-time data analytics is drawing increasing attention," and especially in the financial services sector. Real-time data analysis allows not only incoming data streams but also real-time analyses: all without the need for databases. The it department would need to rethink its entire approach to information systems and database management. Databases could be devoted to data that is conducive to long-term storage and subject to increased data security measures, while real-time data analysis enables maximum profitability. StreamBase 2.0 and similar products free up valuable database storage and minimize the costs associated with database maintenance.
The benefits of real-time financial data analysis would therefore far outweigh the costs. Restructuring and redesigning the organizations it department would be beneficial in other ways: forcing the introduction of new products, ideas, and processes. At the same time, increased revenues from the more robust data analysis system would more than make up for whatever costs were associated with implementing the new application. As with any new idea, costs associated with the adaptation of a new application would be incurred mainly at the beginning as it personnel would need to be trained for using the StreamBase.
Security might be one of the main problems associated with StreamBase. Would the streaming data be encrypted or otherwise protected from malicious users? The organization adapting to StreamBase would need to be sure that the analyses were not vulnerable to security breaches. Finally, just as with streaming multimedia content, streaming data and data analysis might be problematic and prone to caching problems. Possible glitches may be due to server speeds, client PC speeds, and the speed of data transmission. If the organization relied on its own intranet and had a backup system for streaming, then it might be possible to mitigate any problems associated with real-time financial data analysis.

DATA ANALYSIS Problem 1Answer the question: Does practice time make a difference? Support your answer with your findings.The ANOVA single factor test was used to determine whether there was a difference in the swimming time by practice time. ANOVA was calculated using the following steps:i) Present the data in three columns by practice time as shown:less than 15 (1)15-25 (2)greater than 25(3)58.764.46855.355.865.961.858.754.749.554.753.664.552.758.76167.858.765.761.665.751.458.766.553.654.656.75951.555.454.751.561.454.856.957.2ii) State the null and alternative hypothesesHo: all means
Hospice Utilization: Survey Findings Survey Data Analysis Barriers to Hospice Care Utilization: Survey Findings Barriers to Hospice Care Utilization: Survey Findings Hospice care has been shown to improve patient quality of life, reduce depression, prolong life (reviewed by McGorty and Bornstein, 2003), and reduce the costs associated with end of life (EOL) care (Temel et al., 2010). As McGorty and Bornstein (2003) point out, however, hospice care in the United Kingdom is more
Business Intelligence and Data Analysis Tableau Project Dashboard Health insurance coverage for people below 65 among states Graphical features used Descriptive and predictive analytics used Population of Insured and Uninsured People aged 65 and below The project evaluates the rates of insurance coverage for people aged 65 and below between 2010 and 2012 in all states in the United States. The report analyzes the data using several statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, predictive statistics, and linear
data collection and analysis legitimize the goals and strategies educators create for change and improvement? Given today's emphasis on standardized testing in the era of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), using data-driven analysis to legitimize various educational strategies is essential. "Daily life in districts and schools requires educators to effectively navigate a sea of data: diagnostic and norm-referenced standardized assessment data, reading assessment data, state and local assessment data, in
Tobacco control and stress reduction Data interpretation is a critical component of the research process, one which is necessary to ensure that the data has program significance -- i.e., can provide useful guidelines for changes in policy or to add to the existing research -- and also to ensure that the data simply meets basic statistical criteria for validity. In the case of the smoking cessation program profiled in the
Nursing Handoff Communication The use of the mixed method approach for this study implies that data analysis should be effective in examining descriptive data obtained from participant observation, interviews, surveys, and focus groups. The data analysis plans for this research will incorporate identifying and utilizing appropriate methods for examining demographic variables and study variables. This will help in ensuring the researcher effectively analyzes descriptive data from the various data collection
