ICT601 Business Analytics

other insights relevant to the mortality of Singapore residents you develop from your analysis.

If you have questions about the data, please post them to your group’s discussion forum where the UC will answer them as best as possible.

You will require additional data in order to perform your analyses. You should attempt to procure it for yourself. There is no limit as to what or how many data sources you use for this project. Whenever you do include an additional data source, you must ensure that you include the relevant metadata in the Appendix (see Section 1f of the Report Specification).

When students have attempted this project in the past, they have expressed concern about how poorly the data are structured, and how the data they found from other sources was not formatted “correctly”. Unfortunately, this is what working in BA is like!
