As part of the OESON Data Science internship program OGTIP Oeson, I completed my first project. The goal of the project was to conduct a statistical analysis of the stock values of three well-known companies using Advanced Excel. I used descriptive statistics to analyze the data, created charts to visualize the trends and built regression models for each company.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on Six Sigma technique. The presentation covered an introduction to Six Sigma, what it is, its history and origins at Motorola in the 1980s. It discussed the two main approaches to Six Sigma - DMAIC which is a problem-solving methodology, and DMADV which is for designing new processes. A case study example demonstrated applying control charts to statistical process control. The presentation concluded with commonly used Six Sigma software.
The document discusses activity-based costing (ABC) and its application to determine the profitability of various products, client profiles, and branches of a lending institution. ABC is used to allocate costs accurately to cost objects like products and client profiles based on their consumption of activities and resources. The document presents profitability analyses in terms of metrics like return on equity, cost-to-income ratio, and average contribution for different products and client profiles. Based on this analysis, several credit granting and business decisions are proposed, like discontinuing unprofitable products and profiles or changing approval rates to improve profits.
The document provides information on ARG's inventory appraisal services, including analyzing inventory at the SKU level, determining weeks of supply on hand, projecting a liquidation methodology and cash flow, and benchmarking key metrics like inventory levels, gross margin, and sales over time to monitor collateral value. It emphasizes that inventory appraisals establish baseline values but that ongoing monitoring is needed as company conditions and inventory mix can change.

Walmart Sales Prediction Using Rapidminer Prepared by Naga.docxcelenarouzie
Walmart Sales Prediction Using Rapidminer
Prepared by : Nagarjun Singharavelu
I. Introduction:
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc is an American Multinational retail corporation that
operates a chain of discount department stores and Warehouse Stores. Headquartered in
Bentonville, Arkansas, United States, the company was founded by Sam Walton in 1962 and
incorporated on October 31, 1969. It has over 11,000 stores in 27 countries, under a total 71
banners. Walmart is the world's largest company by revenue, according to the Fortune Global
500 list in 2014, as well as the biggest private employer in the world with 2.2 million employees.
Walmart is a family-owned business, as the company is controlled by the Walton family. Sam
Walton's heirs own over 50 percent of Walmart through their holding company, Walton
Enterprises, and through their individual holdings. The company was listed on the New York
Stock Exchange in 1972. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the company rose from a regional to
a national giant. By 1988, Walmart was the most profitable retailer in the U.S. Walmart helps
individuals round the world economize and live better.
The main aim of our project is to identify the impact on sales throughout
numerous strategic selections taken by the corporate. The analysis is performed on historical
sales data across 45 Walmart stores located in different regions. The foremost necessary is
Walmart runs many promotional markdown events throughout the year and we have to check
the impact it creates on sales during that particular period. The markdowns precede prominent
holidays, the four largest of which are the Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. During these
weeks it is noted that there is a tremendous amount of change in the day-to-day sales. Hence
we tend to apply different algorithms which we learnt in class over this dataset to identify the
effect of markdowns on these holiday weeks.
II. Information about dataset:
We had taken four different datasets of Walmart from Kaggle.com
containing the information about the stores, departments, average temperature in that
particular region, CPI, day of the week, sales and mainly indicating if that week was a
holiday. Let us explain each dataset in detail.
Stores:
The no. of attributes in this dataset is 3.
They are store number, type of store and the size of store.
Output attribute is the size of store.
There are 45 stores whose information is collected.
Stores are categorized into three such as A, B and C, which we assume it to be
superstores containing different types of products.
The store size would be calculated by the no. of products available in the particular
store ranging from 34,000 to 210,000.
Train:
This is the historical training data, which covers to 2010-02-05 to 2012-11-01.
It consists of the store and department number.
Date of the week.

Shared training presentation for the retail service managers throughout ASIA in 2005. I have developed new mothodology of marketing data analytics for retailers.
This document discusses key concepts in economic statistics including:
1. The stages of the research process include problem identification, generating hypotheses, conducting research, statistical analysis, and drawing conclusions.
2. Descriptive statistics summarize and describe data while inferential statistics make inferences about a population based on a sample.
3. Data can be qualitative, quantitative, cross-sectional, or time-series. Common descriptive statistics include the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and range.
Statistical Models for Proportional OutcomesWenSui Liu
The document discusses statistical models for proportional outcomes that take values between 0 and 1. It notes disagreements among developers on the best approach, with most supporting ordinary least squares regression due to simplicity. However, OLS is inappropriate due to the bounded range of values and heteroscedasticity. The document evaluates different statistical methods on real-world data to determine the best performing approach.
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to process improvement that aims to reduce defects. It uses statistical methods and the DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to identify and address root causes of defects. The document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including its goals of reducing costs and improving customer experience. It also describes the five steps of DMAIC and some of the tools used in each step, such as process mapping in Define and data collection/analysis in Measure and Analyze to identify problems and root causes.

Comprehensive Analysis of Imported Goods into Canada in 2023 - Data Acquisition, Analysis, and Visualization
In the project focused on Data Acquisition, Analysis, and Visualization, I undertook an in-depth examination of the goods imported into Canada in the year 2023. The primary objective was to derive valuable insights from the dataset through various statistical and analytical methods.
The document discusses two external operational risk loss datasets: ORX and SAS. The ORX dataset contains over 17,000 loss events from 2002-2009, with EMEA accounting for around half. It provides breakdowns by region, business area, and event type. However, it does not scale for firm size. The SAS dataset contains fewer losses but includes revenue/asset data to allow for scaling. It also defines location by country. Both datasets could help with time series analysis but have limitations such as not accounting for varying control quality.

An introduction to SigmaXL's various Graphical tools
Established in 1998, SigmaXL Inc. is a leading provider of user friendly Excel Add-ins for Lean Six Sigma graphical and statistical tools and Monte Carlo simulation.
SigmaXL® customers include market leaders like Agilent, Diebold, FedEx, Microsoft, Motorola and Shell. SigmaXL® software is also used by numerous colleges, universities and government agencies.
Our flagship product, SigmaXL®, was designed from the ground up to be a cost-effective, powerful, but easy to use tool that enables users to measure, analyze, improve and control their service, transactional, and manufacturing processes. As an add-in to the already familiar Microsoft Excel, SigmaXL® is ideal for Lean Six Sigma training and application, or use in a college statistics course.
DiscoverSim™ enables you to quantify your risk through Monte Carlo simulation and minimize your risk with global optimization. Business decisions are often based on assumptions with a single point value estimate or an average, resulting in unexpected outcomes.
DiscoverSim™ allows you to model the uncertainty in your inputs so that you know what to expect in your outputs.
During the "Data Driven Strategies" course, me and my colleagues have set ourselves the challenge of predicting the probability of upselling through a logistic regression, using a bank dataframe sample, in order to determine an optimal target to maximize net profit from the planned marketing campaign.
Here you can find attached the final presentation of the project!
3PLs are a virtually perfect competitive business model. With highly variable costs to revenue, it is challenging to make a 3PL company thrive. Here is some research we have done with Lean Transit to achieve remarkable progress towards making 3PLs more profitable.
AABB - Improving Methods for Matching Single Donor Platelet Production -blueTracy Mallios
This document discusses strategies used by Blood Centers of the Pacific to improve matching of single donor platelet production to demand and reduce outdate waste. The blood center adopted a two-part strategy using available data to understand platelet yields from appointments and anticipate customer usage. They developed a platelet appointment calculator to predict inventory and set targets to cover daily rotation needs. This approach reduced variation and overall expirations/imports compared to previous years. Further refinements including understanding seasonal trends could help optimize the production forecast.
This document outlines a business opportunity for Method Nutrition to partner with Quiksilver and Roxy to develop and distribute a line of sports nutrition products. It includes details on initial product offerings, marketing strategies targeting various action sports communities, financial projections forecasting rapid revenue growth over five years, and distribution plans leveraging Quiksilver's existing retail relationships. The partnership aims to harness the synergies between Method's science-based formulations and Quiksilver/Roxy's brand recognition in the action sports world to build a healthy lifestyle brand.
The document discusses quality control and statistical quality control. It defines quality as properties valued by consumers and quality control as maintaining standards through testing samples. The goal of quality control is to eliminate nonconformities and wasted resources at lowest cost. Statistical quality control uses statistical tools like descriptive statistics, acceptance sampling, and statistical process control to measure and control variation in processes. Examples are provided of x-bar and R charts to determine if a gluing process is in control, as well as P and C charts to monitor defects and complaints.
This document summarizes the research report from CFA Institute Research Challenge: San Diego on a global marketing company. It provides an overview of the company's business segments and geographic revenue breakdown. Financial analysis shows projections for revenue, profit, dividends, and ROE through 2020. Valuation using DCF and DDM estimates the company's share price at $87, a 19% downside from current price. Key risks include a stronger US dollar and increasing oil prices. The recommendation is to sell the stock.
The document provides a quarterly summary of the SaaS market. It analyzes performance in Q3 2015 and year-to-date for large cap, mid cap, and small cap SaaS companies based on share price indices. While the indices dropped in Q3 due to global economic factors, the large cap and cybersecurity indices for the year remain up, outperforming the broader Nasdaq Composite Index. The private markets saw high M&A activity and fundraising remained healthy across all sectors.

2. Overview of Business Problem
• In the 1990’s and early 2000’s, Dominick’s was a chain of over
100 grocery stores in the Chicago Metropolitan area
• For this evaluation, we are performing a corporate-level as
well as a category-level data analysis
• Corporate Analysis – Relate store sales performance
with known demographics to facilitate corporate
planning activities and test potential locations
• Category Analysis – Relate category sales performance
with known demographics to improve sales
performance and expand product offerings
3. Data Description
Store-level historical data on the sales over more than seven year
period
Customer Count File
Daily sales of stores in 30 product
categories:
• Bakery
• Beer
• Cosmetic
• Dairy
• Meat
• Pharmacy
• Grocery
Store-Specific Demographics
Demographic profiles of stores:
• Age
• Single / Retired / Unemployed
• Mortgage
• Poverty
• Income
• Education
• Household size
• Working woman, etc
• Cheese
• Wine
• Health and Beauty
• Deli
• Fish
• Floral
• Jewelry, etc.
4. Data Preparation
Step 1. The latest year’s sales data was aggregated by Store and
summarized for the year from Customer Count File
Step 2. Demographic variables were added from Store Account File
Resulting data set:
• 1-record per store (94 stores) containing 12-month sales data and
store demographic data
• Sales data on 30 product categories (the ‘Behavior’ variables)
• 43 demographic variables for residents living near the store
5. Approach
1. Segmentation: create groups of the stores similar in their
performance according to certain group of product categories and
dissimilar to the other groups according to the same group of
categories
Method: Non-hierarchical and hierarchical clustering
2. Response Analysis: find targetable characteristics of identified
groups of the stores
Method: Discriminant analysis
3. Model Validation: evaluate performance of the models on a hold-out
sample (20% of the stores)
4. Recommendations and conclusions

19. Recommendations
Corporate Level:
• Resource allocation among the stores: perform additional analysis of the stores
in underperforming segments (1 & 6)
• Evaluation of the potential locations for a new store: deploy discriminant
function to predict performance of the stores in different product categories
based on the demographic profiles of their locations
Category Level (Beer & Wine):
• Marketing strategy for a new brand of Beer or Wine: adjust targeting strategy
for a product based on the demographic profile of the location it will be sold
• Choice of the stores to test market a new product: recommend to perform a
market test for Beer in stores of segments 4 & 5 and Wine in segments 3 &6
20. Limitations of the Analysis
Additional data
• Product-level data: assessment of specific product sales in new stores & prediction
of a new product performance that is being considered to be launched
• Customer-specific data: ability to build better predictive models tied to the customer
demographics (scanner data from the loyalty program members’ transactions)
Higher quality analysis at a more granular
level
