Statistics 810 Project 1

• This is the mid-semester Statistics 810 project. IT involves working on data exploration and simulation using R.

In this project we worked on the below tasks:

Preferential Attachment Model

• The preferential attachment model concerns a growing network, where the probability of a new node attaching to an old node is proportional to the number of connections that old node has.
• We wrote the simulation code for variable intitialization parameters.
• We also analysed the simulations to discover some interesting patterns.

NNDB Dataset

• Exploratory Data Analysis

Languages Used

• R was used for both data exploration as well as for the simulation of the Preferential Attachment Model and its analysis.
