Jan. 2023 - Mar. 2023

  • This is a project for the International Association of Statistical Computing (IASC) Data Analysis Competition 2023.
  • Worked with two students from UC Davis, Weilin Cheng, and Kathy Mo, and two students from UMich, Sida Tian and Li Yuan.
  • Built and compared statistical models that predict which county in the upcoming month will have H5N1 case(s).
  • The prediction accuracy of the model is 98.4% with AUC 0.8015.
  • Provided some suggestions including collecting more related data such as egg production and breeding size to improve the model.
  • Proposed some advice on how to control the spread of the H5N1 virus.
  • The team won 2nd place and a travel grant for attending the World Statistics Conference (WSC) 2023 organized by the International Statistical Institute.

  • This is the final project for the Advanced Statistical Computing class at UC Davis.
  • Worked with four UC Davis students: Josh Balingit, Luc Chen, Kathy Mo, and Ka Wai Sit.
  • Created different machine learning models from the IMDB Kaggle dataset and compared them.
  • Evaluated which algorithms most effectively predict whether a movie receives a positive rating or not.

  • This is a project for the CA 2022 Election Data Challenge hosted by UC Davis.
  • Worked with two students from UC Davis, Weilin Cheng and Henyuan Liu, and one student from UMich, Li Yuan.
  • Figured out the relationship between multiple factors and Greenhouse Gas emission by light-duty vehicles in California.
  • Found out the relationship between fire control funding and Greenhouse Gas emitted by wildfire.
  • Concluded that only performing Proposition 30 is not enough to reach California’s carbon emission goal.
  • Suggested focusing more on carbon emitted by trucks, cargo ships, industrial pollution, air conditioners, public transportation, planes, etc.
  • The team won the nomination prize.
