• All analyses should be conducted using SAS EM.
• Model comparison is necessary to select the best model.
Presentation Guideline (3 minutes):
• Introduction: introduce the data and main purpose for this analysis.
• Preparation: explore the data and make them ready for the model fitting.
• Model: fit the model and explain your model.
• Assessment: evaluate the performance of the selected mode.
• Recording: make a recording video for your presentation and submit it through canvas. Due to time constraints, you should focus more on the sections you want to emphasize while providing a general overview of the other parts. The professor and TA will evaluate your presentation. Recordings of the top 5 presenters will be shown as examples in class.
