Assignment Task:
So far, we have covered a number of concepts in Stochastic system theory. Now, it is time to put
those concepts to some use. For this assignment you are required to analyze the data present in
the Drones Dataset excel file using the tools you have studied so far. The data presents a
number of stats of all the drone strikes in Pakistan till 2013. For more info on the
terms/abbreviations used in the file, refer to the notes section of the same file.
Using the dataset, produce atleast 3 analysis solutions. You may compute variance, covariance,
correlation, (conditional) expectations, (conditional and joint) probabilities, (conditional) PMFs
and whatever other statistical tool you deem appropriate in the analysis. Use as many as possible.
A sample case of just one of the many possible analysis is given below. You are required to do
this assignment in MATLAB.
Submission Guidelines:
1. You have to submit a PDF file which contains your plots, values and
comments (see sample analysis for reference).
2. You are also required to submit the MATLAB code files (separate file for
each analysis). Zip all the files into a single file with the filename as
YourName_RollNumber.zip
3. Email only the zip file to 14mseesrehman@seecs.edu.pk
If having any trouble understanding this assignment, direct all your queries to me.
PMF of X
PMF of Y
Comment on the value of the Correlation Coefficient. What does a lower/higher value indicate?
P.S. If anyone is interested in studying more () about Entropy related stuff, drop me an email
and I can send you a useful resource.
