Beat ‘em Up Python Terminal Game

This terminal game was created as a final project for a Codecadamy Python course. Play it in the terminal of any Python IDE; I used Spyder to write and test it.

U.S. State Clustering using a SOM

I created a Self Organizing Map to create clusters of U.S. states (including Washington, D.C.) and determine if the standard regional groupings (Midwest, New England, etc.) are truly reflective of states’ characteristics. I created this model just to test my skills and stay sharp. It’s more of a practice exercise than a comprehensive analysis.

Low Back Pain Study

I performed the analysis for this paper during my time at Highmark Health. The paper took a while to write, edit, and submit, so it was published after I had already left the company.

Weight Change Calculator

R Shiny tool predicting weight loss/gain based on various inputs. I created this project to test my skills and gain experience in R Shiny.

SAS Global Forum 2020 Paper

Paper describing how to perform simple functions in both SQL and SAS that was set to be presented at the 2020 SAS Global Forum. The conference was cancelled due to COVID-19, but the paper was still released as part of the 2020 proceedings.

Neural Network Classification

Cross-validated neural network predicting whether an email is spam or not based on words used in the email subject. This project was coursework performed in May 2020.

Predicting Employee Attrition

Logistic regression predicting employee attrition from many independent variables. Variable selection was performed, and ROC curves and a full write-up were produced. This project was coursework performed in December 2019.

Smoothing Splines v. Local Regression

Short analysis comparing predictions from smoothing splines against a local regression. This project was coursework performed in November 2019.

Hedonic Model

Multiple linear regression modeling home price on many factors with full write-up and testing of model assumptions. This project was coursework performed in May 2019.

Relationship between Gleason scores and Prostate-Specific Antigen levels

Simple linear regression modeling Prostate-Specific Antigen levels on Gleason score with full write-up and testing of model assumptions. This project was coursework performed in May 2019.
