Graduate Research Assistant September 2006 –December2007
Confidential, Arlington, TX
- Responsibilities for Calibration of various graphical user interfaces such as Noise Audio Dosimeter, GlovePressureMapping system, DataLOG and to analyzetheir data using SAS and various statistical procedures.
- Responsibility of analysis of data obtained using all user interface and to validate that data using SAS analysis and various statistical tools such as ANOVA, SLR, MLR, Correlation & Regression.
- Worked in collaboration with Kinesiology Department, University of Texas at Arlington, while working on the Designing of the Workstation Lifting Techniques using Force Plate Technique & Vicon Motion System.
- Performed the analysis of obtained data using anthropometry analysis and performed various statistical analysis
Using various tests such as t-test, f-test, and obtained p values to check the data significance and also to check for the outliers.
- Worked on the various aspects of Ergonomics following standard specification of NASA, OSHA, and NIOSHand perform Statistical evaluation of the data obtained.
- Attended several conferences on Human Factors & Ergonomics as Student representative of University.
Simple Linear Regression Analysis for Relation between Muscle Strength and Lean Body Mass:
- The aim of this project is to establish relationship between muscle strength and lean body mass of more than 20 individuals and to estimate dependent variable muscle strength and independent variable lean body mass.
- Relationship between dependent and independent variable is estimated with the use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient, through which we created linear regression equation and then we predicted the value of one measurement from the knowledge of the other variable.
- We have also calculated the variance and coefficient of determination (R-square) to evaluate the variation between dependent and independent variable and to estimate the relation between muscle strength and lean body mass.
- We also evaluated the ANOVA using F-test to predict about independence, normality and homogeneity of data. Also performed the Modified Levene Test using SAS in terms to compare the datasets, expecting if normality is not present.
- Outcome of the project was relationship betweendependent and independent variable was positive with all data points lying in the same line.
Multiple Linear Regression Analysis for relation between the Avg. MPG and the Number of Cylinders, Engine size, Horsepower, RPM, Engine Revolution per Mile, and the Weight of cars sold in 1993:
- The aim of the project was to analyze the general factor that affect the fuel economy of the car. Based on the data available we selected 4 predictor variables Number of cylinders, Engine size, RPM and Weight.
- In this we created the regression line using response variable (Average) vs 4 predictor variables to fit the data into regression model. In this we perform model adequacy analysis to see the relationship between predictor variables
- To plot the curvature of the predictor variable, we used PROC GPLOT. In the dataset obtained we consider two situations one being normality OK, and another being non-OK and we performed both Bresuh-Pagan Test and Modified Levene Test.
- Performed the Normality testto confirm the outliers and BonFerroni Outlier test.
- Performed the Influence analysis test to check the influence of single fitted valueand influence on individual least square estimators.
- Conducted Variance Inflation factor to see the rise in multi-collinearity.
- Performed Backward Deletion method, best subset method, and Stepwise regression method by keeping condition of best model with Higher (R),Lower MSE and Lower Cp.
