Name: [enter your full name here] EID: [enter your EID here] Pilot Dataset 1. (10pt) Enter n=10 observations in the table below (real observations if you are proposing to use existing data or simulated observations if you are proposing to collect your own). Replace each column name with a short but descriptive variable name. Your “Row_ID” should be a unique value that helps identify each observation in your sample (it can be as simple as “1, 2, 3,…” or names/labels for each sampling unit). Row_ID Numeric Explanatory Variable Categorical Explanatory Variable Response Variable Project Title and Research Questions 2. (1pt) What is the title of your proposed research project? This should be a short sentence or phrase in plain language that describes your project topic and your response variable. 3. (2pt) State the two research questions, one for each explanatory variable’s relationship with the response, that you are going to attempt to answer with your analysis. It should be clear which variable is the response and which is the explanatory in each question. Motivation and Stakeholders RQ1 RQ2
