Assignment 7
This is a team assignment (10% of grade).
Due: Wednesday, February 15th (Assigned on Wed Feb 1st)
Task:
Propose a data analysis using a sample dataset that
illustrates something interesting about collaborative
activity in Wikipedia. One starting point for proposing an
analysis is the papers we have been reading. The different
sample datasets can answer different questions. Assignment
6 provided an example of a simple analysis of revision
comments. There will be two other datasets that you might
consider.
- What is the question?
* What needs to be done? What will you do?
* How is this question related to our readings? - What does this question answer about collaboration in Wikipedia?
- How will you show/display the result?
* Descriptive statistics, statistical regression, correlation?
* Is there a visualization that would show this?
Submit:
- Written proposal for your analysis (2-3 pages).
