- Here is the Information of this Activity>>
Fitting a distribution (Discrete / Continuous)
Collect the dataset and try to approximate a variable with the discrete or continuous random variable.
OR
Model a dataset with the discrete or continuous random variable and verify it.
Note: An example submission (for Discrete or Continuous) along with evaluation criteria can be accessed from the following:
· Example submission for Discrete Case
· Example submission for Continuous case
Please check the above before you start preparing your submission and subsequently evaluate others. And, give 0 marks if he/she has copied the example submission.
Instruction for submission:
1. You have to create a Google Spreadsheet with the data and Google document with the calculations (or uploaded images of handwritten calculations) related to the distribution.
2. Embed/Hyperlink the GSheet, GDoc in your portfolio under the heading ‘Extra activity-4’
3. Make sure that you provide View permission for the Google Site, G-Doc and G-Sheet for ‘Everyone in Indian Institute of Technology Domain’
Grading Criteria
Criteria | Weight | Absent (0 point) | Sufficient (1 point) | Exemplary (2 point) |
Presence of data and analysis document | 5 | Either data is not present or an appropriate data is not shared (i.e. peer shared a random image or file instead of data | Only data is present without analysis document | The data presented is valid along with the analysis document |
Validity of data Goodness of Fit (calculated PDF / PMF using formula and probability obtained from data) | 10 15 | There is no explanation regarding validity of data There are no calculations available | There is description and mention of why data is valid The calculations are provided however the two values are not similar. | There is a detailed description of why the data is valid with additional insights The calculations are shown and values are approximately similar |
Appropriateness of steps used in calculations | 15 | The steps of calculation are not shown | Some steps are shown, but are not sufficient to calculate a valid mode | The submission shows sufficient steps to calculate a valid model of the data |
Alternative model (to see if there is a better fit) | 5 | There are no alternative models provided, even if it is possible to have at least one alternative model. | Minimum one alternative model(if possible) has been suggested. However, detailed calculation for alternative models is not provided to compare with initial fit. | Minimum one alternative model has been suggested with detailed calculations. Comparisons of the fit (with earlier model(s)) is also done. |
Important Dates
- Release of submission link: 25th February, 2025
- Student Submission due date: 9th March, 2025
- Peer Review due date: 19th March, 2025
- Students can start collecting data and prepare the calculations. The submission only requires them to share their Google Site (which you have already created).
Note : It is required to do the required number (at least 5) of peer reviews in extra activity. If a student does not complete required number of peer reviews he/she will get 0 marks even if he/she submitted the assignment.
