Project/Case Studies

Sales Forecasting and marketing experiments of UMBC shall be a good one for the students to get the exposure. The students shall be divided into several groups according to the product lines of UMBC. Each group shall get the past sales data of the UMBC product lines and using those they have to use the sales forecasting methods to estimate the future. This project data can be used to develop an original case study on UMBC based on the output of the project.

Case studies/Project -

• Security Assessment

A framework can be defined as a supporting structure to an entity, which in this case is the investment option. We extend this definition of a framework through a visualization approach that supports a range of key data points of each listed security. First, we introduce and define how that framework is designed; second, we apply it to the creation of profiles for stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs; and third, we present the resulting collection of profiles. Throughout this chapter we show how the framework is constructed with blueprints for each security type.

• Portfolio Construction

This Project presents a variety of Portfolio Construction data visualizations that draw from activities top-down managers employ. These activities include determining asset allocations with sector and industry weights before security selection represented with visualizations that show current and proposed asset allocations of a portfolio, sector leadership, and sector alpha factors. In addition, two common risk management techniques, overlap of holdings and stress tests, are included as indirect inputs toward Portfolio Construction activities. These types of techniques manage firm risk from a business perspective to influence Portfolio Construction decisions. They also present clients with rationale for amendments and changes in their portfolio(s).

• Showcasing Data for Effective Communications
• This Project reuses the Waterfall chart and introduces the Cascade chart to represent cash flows data for for-profit organizations. Like variations on a theme, this section shows how to apply the Cascade chart technique to a variety of use cases. From Waterfall to Cascade, Summary to Detail, Single to Multi-year, each variation is tailored to serve different needs.
• Financial statements are known for accuracy and attention to detail and employ a uniform method to gather and present data. The examples in this chapter maintain conventional standards of financial statements while introducing visuals to augment the standard tables. The visualizations reflect the direct and accurate stance of financial statements with the use of straight lines to indicate Summary 213 precise aggregate levels, negative and positive flows, and quantity changes across the years.

• Visualizations of Performance

This project discusses the redesign of core component visualizations and shows how to integrate them within qualitative information and quantitative tables. The Fund Fact Sheet, for example, combines these redesigned visual components with textual description to convey qualitative information. In contrast, the quantitative table shown in the “Mutual Fund Comparison” section provides a column of visualizations next to corresponding numeric values to compare a short list of funds. In the former case, visualizations vary and represent different data sets with comparison points within the fund. In the latter, the visualizations are consistent and repeat for comparison across a list of funds. Both use cases produce a diverse set of mutual fund data visualizations.

Case study-

• Statistical analysis on price index of different agricultural commodities -
• Description:
• Aprice indexis a normalizedaverage(typically aweighted average) ofpricerelatives for a given class ofgoodsorservices in a given region, during a given interval of time. Price indices have several potential uses. For particularly broad indices, the index can be said to measure the economy's generalprice levelor acost of living. More narrow price indices can help producers with business plans and pricing. Sometimes, they can be useful in helping to guide investment.
• Study under coverage-
• Consumer price index, producer price index, export and import price index for agriculture commodities.
• Agriculture crop production modeling and forecasting
• Description:
• Modeling and forecasting of agricultural crop production is essential for policy maker and researcher to predict the future behavior of production or productivity.
• Study under coverage –
• Different crop modeling and forecasting for area, production, productivity
