DSCI 2010 WU Data Modeling and Evaluating a Model Report

 

For this Assignment, you will return to your
role as an intern at Nutri Mondo, an organization that uses data science
to address issues related to food insecurities and other food-related
issues. Read the message from the director of Nutri Mondo, Susana
Maciel, to set the context for your assignment:

SUBJECT: REPORTS
FROM: SUSANA.MACIEL@NUTRIMONDO.ORG
TO: YOU

Hello,

Thank you for keeping me up to date on how the data understanding and
data preparation phases were going. I am assuming that I will get to see
some visualizations soon on the effects of food insecurity. Please let
me know how they evaluate the models they are building. It will help me
understand some of the models that they ultimately go with.

Also, I know that this data set is from the U.S. government. We work
with several communities across Latin America and South America
regarding food insecurity and other similar issues. I would be curious
to know if you would like to find a data set related to an issue that
affects your community. Of course, if you have other interests, I would
like to know what challenges you would like to solve with data science.
Later on, you can send me any data visualizations that you find
interesting.

Looking forward to your reports,

Regards,

Susana Maciel
Director
Nutri Mondo
