38350MS 3043 – Spring 2018 Project
Objectives:
1. Introduce some basic library search tools
2. Demonstrate the relevance of statistics (in this case, regression analysis) to your chosen
field of study.
Statistics is not a subject that you simply endure for now and then never use again. Many of the
concepts covered in this course will be encountered in future courses and quite likely throughout
your business career. The purpose of this project is to explore how researchers in your area of
interest use the process of regression analysis. In order to do this, you will locate two articles
from academic journals that pertain to your area of interest in business and contain the use of
regression analysis. Your search criteria will contain one of the following majors from the
UTSA College of Business: Accounting, Cyber Security, Economics, Entrepreneurship,
Finance, General Business, Human Resource Management, Information Systems, Management,
Management – International Business, Management Science, Marketing, Real Estate Finance and
Development, Sport, Event and Tourism Management.
Directions for finding articles:
From UTSA home page
Select myUTSA
Under Library Resources, select Find Databases
Select “A” under Find by Title
Select ABI/INFORM Collection
On first line of search terms: enter your business major from the list above
(Use quotes if it is more than one word); select All Subjects & indexing – SU
In the box on the second line enter the phrase: “linear regression” or “multiple
regression” (be sure to include the quotes); keep the default of Anywhere
Limit Results to: check Peer reviewed
Publication date: select Specific date range
Enter September 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 in the boxes
Click Search
Note number of documents found.
Search through the available listing of articles to find ones that appear interesting and that
specifically describe the use of either linear or multiple regression. The first articles listed in
your search will likely only contain abstracts. You will probably have to scroll down to find
articles listed as “full text” or “full text – PDF”. If you have a choice, articles presented in PDF
format are generally easier to read.
You must follow the general format contained in the document, Spring 2018 Project. On the top
of the first page, replace the x’s with your personal information (name, MyUTSA ID, and the
major you are interested in). Include the required bibliographical information for the two articles
you choose. Note that authors should be listed by last name, then first name or initial. Retain the
grading criteria text at the bottom of the page. Delete the text box.
The second and third pages will each be devoted to one of the two articles you choose. For each
article, start with a short overview in your own words. You may want to include information
such as when and where the experiment was done, and the author’s reasons for conducting it.
Find the description of a regression analysis (there may be several) presented by the author(s)
and list the dependent and independent variables. Next, describe the author’s conclusion about
this regression. This may involve the significance of the overall model or of the individual
independent variables. Finally, provide a statement of how you perceive the article may be
relevant to you as you proceed with your studies/career. In other words, what did you learn?
The project reports must be exactly three pages long and in the format described above. Use a
font of 12, with single spacing. The grading criteria is provided on the first page of the Spring
2018 Project file. Ten points will be awarded for quality of presentation (format, grammar,
spelling, etc.). Each article analysis will be worth 20 points, as shown. The total points available
for the project are 50. The report is due at the end of the Project Module. The penalty for
lateness is five points per day.
