Missing Data

This week’s Learning Resources include several different ways to identify and assess the issue of missing data in your database. From your assessment and knowledge of possible ways to manipulate data, and to overcome potential challenges presented by the missing data, you will be able to analyze and reach conclusions about your analysis. It is important to recognize when and how to apply the most viable solution to the missing data. In addition, it is important to learn to recognize when your data results could be compromised by missing data.

For this Discussion, you will analyze the impact of missing data on data analysis.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources.

Post a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of missing data. Include the following in your post:

• An explanation of the importance of handling missing data and skipping patterns and how missing data can affect data analysis

• A technique on how you may handle missing data appropriately with an explanation of why this technique works

• Choose one of the variables you selected for your Scholar-Practitioner Project (select one with missing values) and report proportion of missing for that variable

• Indicate the possible reason for the missing values in that variable.

Support your post with the Learning Resources and current literature. Use APA 7 formatting for your Discussion and to cite your resources.

Facility Planning

You have been assigned to manage a renovation project from an old warehouse to a medical office building. You have been asked to manage one of the internal environmental impacts, such as hazardous waste management, fire and safety management, disaster management, security management, or ADA guidelines, in the newly renovated building.

The discussion of the cross-functional team members reveals their concern regarding topics like how to handle fire safety or hazardous waste at the newly renovated facility. The internal stakeholders, including the director of facilities and human resources manager, are interested specifically in the ADA guidelines.

Note: The term environmental does not relate to the outside environment such as trees and animals.

research the standard operating procedures for the areas listed below and select an area that you will incorporate into the renovation of the warehouse into the medical office building.

Proposal

Writing Assignment 6: Write and Submit Theoretical Framework and Annotated Bibliography for Midterm Project Proposal

Theoretical Framework Guidelines:

Conduct a search of the literature for theories and examine various theories to determine what might be appropriate to help you examine the problem you will investigate in your proposal. Then, write a 2-page description of your theoretical framework including databases searched and Boolean terms.

•Select the theory that you will use to guide and direct the proposal process.

•Review literature on studies in which the author/s used this theory base

•Write the conceptual definitions of the variables or factors based on the theory that will inform your Proposal.

• Explain how will you use the theory to explain the subsequent findings and draw conclusions from the results based on the theory.

Proposal Writing Style and Composition:

Note: Theoretical Framework must follow APA format and be written in the future tense with correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, in scholarly language (accurate, balanced, objective). Your writing must be clear and precise, and avoid redundancy. All statements must be specific, topical sentences clearly written for paragraphs, bridges established between ideas with smooth transitions between sections. Assignments must be logically and comprehensively organized, using content- specific subheadings where appropriate. Citations are to be included for the following: direct quotations, paraphrasing, facts, and references to research studies, and in-text citations are found in the reference list. Please conclude (end) your theoretical framework with a brief paragraph summarizing the key points relevant to your proposal.

Annotated Bibliography Guidelines:

A bibliography is a works cited list. An annotated bibliography is one that contains a short paragraph of notes on each text. The general purpose of annotated bib is to encourage careful, critical reading of your sources. They help you to establish a narrow focus on the literature, to build a strong grasp of your research before you begin building the full project. Be sure to review the sample annotated bibliography before beginning, to get a sense of the formatting.

Submit an annotated bibliography of the 10+ sources you plan to use within the literature review for your midterm project (due week 8), using the following guidelines:

You must include all 10+ research sources that you’ll be using in your proposal, with a full citation and short paragraph for each.

The short paragraph should include 2-3 sentences summarizing the research source and 2-3 sentences explaining how the work will be used in your literature review.

All citations should be formatted according to current APA guidelines.
