One of requirements for this course is that
each student conducts a small-scale
statistical design/analysis project related to a research topic(s) in
one's field of study, i.e., water quality, structural, geotechnical, water
resources, coastal, modeling, sampling, lab experiemnt, etc. and submit a
full written Final project report.
Idea is that by conducting a small-scale statistical/experimental design
class project on your research topic(s), you can
- Really learn about class topics by actually using them to
solve real-world problems/designs,
- Develop the very problem/idea/concept
from this project into
your own dissertation/thesis/project research
component(s), and
- Practice and apply similar
methodology/technique(s) in
your own dissertation/thesis/project research,
|
This would be tremendously benefitial for your research activities. (see some
examples
of previous project topics)
Regardless of the topic, a project would contain one or more elements of ;
- Proper problem conceptualization and partitioning of hypotheses
- Test of Hypothesis (z-, t-, F-, chi-square-tests, ANOVA, nonparametric)
- Comparison of Mean/Variance of sample groups (grouped t-, F-tests)
- Regression analysis of samples/Correlationship
- Field sampling strategy using Completely Randomized (CR)/Randomized
Complete Block (RCB)/Latin Square/Factorial designs
- Normality and Nonparametric test of sample data
If you have a difficulty in deciding/selecting a topic,
please make an appointment and consult with me as soon as possible.
Remember, procrastination, by its nature, would never improve the situation.
Analyses and treatment of your project sample data should be
done by using SAS or other statistical softwares, but not
by hand. Use of SAS is highly recommended.
Each student is required to submit a full written
Final Project Report (no hardcopy,
single PDF file report)
for one's project. Final report deadline is due by
May 2 (Friday) by 5:00 PM or earlier,
via Canvas/Assignments
.
Be serious about the deadline -- if it
is not that serious, people wouldn't put the word 'dead' in the first
place.
Late project report submission will be accepted with
a 30% deduction, i.e., your report will be
graded based on a maximum point of 70/100.

Final Report Core Elements
|
| |
-
Final Project Report is
due by
May 2 (Friday) by 5:00 PM or earlier,
via Canvas/Assignments.
All submitted final reports will be screened by
Plagiarism Check software.
A written project report, in single PDF format
(no hardcopy report)
should include following core components;
- Title of your project
(in the Cover page)
Title should be concise and self-explanatory. Be specific.
Vehemently avoid an ambiguous or run-on title. 15 words maximum.
- Course name, current Semester and Year,
Student name, ODU ID
(in the Cover page)
In the same cover page
- Abstract
(in the second page - Abstract and Keywords)
In the second page.
Should include a brief and succint
statement of the problem, objective, hypothesis, test method(s),
and final conclusion. 300 words maximum. If you can't
summarize your project within 300 words, chances are that
probably you're not quite sure what you did.
- Keywords
(in the second page - Abstract and Keywords)
Right below the Abstract section. Five keywords maximum. Use following format;
KEYWORDS: Total Suspended Solids (TSS); Multiple mean comparison; Factorial design; Seasonal influence
- Table of Contents
(in the third page)
Include correct page numbers for each section. Also list
Appendix and SAS output if there's any.
- Introduction/Background of your project topic
(Introduction section)
- Clearly disclose your problem conceptualization
with a solid rationale.
You should be able to show your genuine
interest in your project topic why you choose it.
Avoid such problem conceptualization that was
defined retrospectively to fit your methodology/technique.
- Explain why statistical analysis and experimental design of
sample data were necessary/ideal for solving your problem.
- Literature review on similar studies done previously (if there's any
-- not confined only to statistical studies)
Were there any previous study/investigation conducted
on the same or similar problem? If there were,
what methods were used? (i.e., statistical? mathematical? experimental, etc.?)
List all such references at the Reference section in your report using
proper formats. (
see below for the format guideline)
- Provide detailed background information
of your study site/data.
- Project Objectives and your
Hypotheses.
(Why & What do you
want to test/prove?)
(Objective and Hypothesis section)
- Bottomline is that you should know exactly why and what do you want to
test/analyze in your project to solve/design what,
regardless of the scale of problem.
(i.e., proper and correct problem conceptualization)
If you are hazy in these 'Why' and 'What' elements,
your project would become either a never-ending
organizational disaster that will fizzle without a fruition
or a mere technical charade with no substance (such as
merely comparing C.T. for the sake of comparison with
no apparent reason or benefit).
- Use bullets or numbers to list objectives.
Get to the point and stop beating around the bush.
- For expressing hypothesis, use the standard notation of
H0 and Ha. Be concise and succint.
If you can not express your hypothesis clearly, you may
not yet clearly understand what you need/want to test.
- A single hypothesis does not have to be complex
and contain all elements of the problem.
Start with a simplest, specific hypothesis,
and if necessary, further build into more eleborate one.
Another approach is to define a main hypothesis
and "spawn" subsequent/subjugated hypotheses in a
succession (either linear or parallel or both)
if necessary.
- Remember, no matter how complex the problem might be,
you should test a hypothesis on a very specific
element one at a time. A poorly defined hypothesis will
induce more confusion and ambiguity than you'd ever imagine.
- Source of sample data
(Data section)
Where/When/What types of data did you get and use in your study?
Why do you think that particular data source is adequate and valid?
Why not others? Make it sure to disclose the source of data used
in your project in a utmost detail.
- Validation of data distribution
(i.e., is it normal? If not, what should be done?)
(Data section)
This is an extremely important element of any statistical
analysis project, and should be validated in the first place.
Shapiro-Wilk test and Normal probability plot (via
UNIVARIATE procedure) are mandatory. Be sure to attach UNIVARIATE
listing in your report.
- Pre-filtering of sample data
(Data section)
If and only if you did any - provide clear justification and
rationale on why and how you did that based on what.
Keep in mind that the purpose of pre-filtering is to identify
and remove extreme outliers, if there is any,
that would skew the truth in your sample (and subsequently,
your analysis results on the pop.). If there is no extreme outliers,
no need for pre-filtering. Conversely, mild ouliers should not
be filtered out since mild outliers are still representative of
the pop.
- Statistical Procedures and methodologies
used in your project
(Methodology section)
Must clearly state assumptions and
limitations of
each procedure/method if theres any.
- Actual analysis
(Analysis section)
You can use either SAS or other softwares
(i.e., Excel, MiniTab, SPSS, etc.) or both
for the analysis. Always provide the p-value
from your anaylsis result. Be sure to attach
printouts in the Appendix.
- Your interpretation and conclusion
(Discussion and Conclusion section)
- By far, the most important part of your report, of course.
- Make it sure that use/reiterate original
terms/names/units of the project topic in your
conclusion. Never state your conclusion
in such a fashion that "...as a conclusion,
the null hypothesis was rejected...."
Keep in mind that at this juncture,
the readers usually do not remember what the original
hypothesis was, and such statement as
"...null hypothesis was rejected...." does not
mean a thing to your readers.
Talk to and spell it out for your readers, not
to yourself. I.e., re-iterate your initial problem
conceptualization or problem setting, and 'connect'
your conclusion back to the original problem setting.
- Also, always express your conclusion in forms
of recommendation for possible future actions. Finding
whether a condition is right or wrong is one thing.
But good analysis
should also be able to suggest a way to correct/obviate
the current problem. (this is exactly why you did your project for)
- References
(References section)
Include only ones that were actually cited in your report.
Internet website/webpage are not citable
and should not used "as is" references -- find the correct
reference/source that the webpage was based on, and refer them
instead. One exception is the website/webpage address where
you may have obtained your sample data from.
(usually government sites such as USGS, NOAA, NWS, EPA, etc.)
Use correct formats (
see below for the format guideline)
- Appendix and SAS Source/Output
(Appendix and SAS Source/Output section)
SAS (or any other programs) outputs from your
methodology/analyses. Make it sure to include the SAS source code(s)
for the output(s). Clearly mark your interpretive comments
directly on each page so that your logical flow foward
the final conclusion can be interpreted clearly.
Use Monospace fonts such as Courier for format/align
SAS sources and outputs.
- Your final report should be submitted in
single PDF file that contains;
- Final Report
- Data that used in your project -- should be included in your
Final Report under Data section.
- SAS source code(s) and listing files -- should be included in your
Final Report as Appendix. Be sure to use monospaced Courier or
Courier New font for SAS
source and listing for readability.
-
Be sure to name your final report PDF file using following convention;
ExpDesign_sp2025_FR_[Last Name].pdf
For example, a final report by John Adams would look like
ExpDesign_sp2025_FR_Adams.pdf
Remeber, I'll have 15+ final reports all at once and will not be
able to tell which is which if you do not put a filename correctly.
The project report
grading will be based on the problem conceptualization,
assumption and limitation, correctness of the procedures,
thoroughness of analysis, correct and objective interpretation/conclusion/recommendation.

-
In regard to the project report format, following guidelines shall rigorously
be used;
- No smaler than 11-point San Serif font (i.e., Times Roman or similar font)
with 1.5 line spacing, justified with at least 1-inch
margins at top, bottom, and sides.
- Do not number the Title page. However Abstract and Table of contents
pages should be numbered in the bottom, aligned center using lowercase roman
numerals (i.e., i, ii, iii, etc.).
- Each page after the Table of contents page should be numbered
properly in the bottom, aligned right using your
last name and numeral
combination. (i.e., Yoon 1, Yoon 2, and so forth). You don't have to
number Appendix and SAS Output section.
- Use correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax. Spelling and
hyphenation of compound words follow the unabridged Webster's Third New
International Dictionary.
- Figures and Tables should be placed in text body, not in separate
pages or Appendix. A title for a Figure should be placed under the
Figure, and a title for a Table should be placed over the Table with
appropriate Figure/Table number.
- If you're directly listing any computer (partial) output such as
parts from SAS Listing file(s), use Courier font (or similar) for the
listing. Courier font is a monospace font and will display columns
and spaces with a correct proportion.
- Final conclusion in the Discussion and
Conclusion section should be a single paragraph (150 words or
fewer) stating the nature of the problem and summarizing its important
conclusions. If you can't summarize within 150 words or less, then it
would be very likely that you're not quite sure what you did. In such
case, check your hypothesis again.
- There is no page limit for your final report. However, keep in mind
that a good report is always succint and to the point. Verbose,
bloated and disorganized reports usually incur more confusion
than what is already presented in the problem itself.
- "I" is boring, avoid starting sentences using terms such as "I" or
"My." Also avoid gender-specific words such as "he," "she," "his,"
"her," and "hers." Instead, use words such as "the author," and
"researcher" for the objectivity.
- Abbreviations are like Janus -- meant to help clarifying yet
could introduce more confusion. If you are using an abbreviation,
you should give a full name/title/description
when you first introduce the abbreviation. Hereinafter, you can
use the abbreviation as many times as desired.
- For reference(s) if you used any in your main body of the
report (i.e., not in References section but in
Introduction/Background, Data, Methodology, Analysis and Discussion and
Conclusion sections), use complete and accurate reference format.
Omissions, discrepancies in the spelling of names, errors in titles, and
incorrect dates must be avoided. (think why you put references in your
report in the first place) Do not put references in footnote nor
'numbered' reference index.
For multiple authors, use following format;
| single author |
(Alerich, 2011) |
| two author |
(Marks and Bormann, 1985) |
| more than two authors |
(Megahan et al., 2009) |
| multiple references -- start from recent one |
(Alerich, 2011; Megahan et al., 2009; Marks and Bormann, 1985) |
| the same author with multiple references
-- start from recent one |
(Alerich, 2011;2010;2009a;2009b;2007) |
|
- For listing reference(s) in the References
section which should be at the end of your report, use standard format shown at the bottom of this page.
Omissions, discrepancies in the spelling of names, errors in titles, and
incorrect dates must be avoided.
In case that if there's more than one authors for a reference,
the proper convention is;
Last_name(1), Initials(1), Initials(2), Last_name(2), Initials(3), Last_name(3),
. . . and Initials(n), Last_name(n), (Year), Title, Source, Vol.(No.):page-page.
where 1=first author, 2=second author, and so forth to 'n'th author.
| single author |
Alerich, J.K. |
| two author |
Marks, W.L. and M.S. Bormann |
| three authors or more more |
Megahan, D.D., M.S. Bormann and J.K. Alerich |
|
See more reference examples below.
- Internet webpages are not
regarded as legitimate references. If you'd like to refer material(s)
that you found in Internet, identify the original source and author(s)
information, then refer it instead of merely listing URI(s) or webpage
address(es). Else do not use them (=URI) in your
references.
