# ============================================================================= # ACCA7022 – Advanced Statistical Programming # Coursework 1: Data Manipulation # # Student Name: Tareque Hasnat Tuhin # Student ID: 2513674 # Date: 27 February 2026 # ============================================================================= # # Overview: # This script simulates production data for an alien colony. # There are: # - 6 stations # - 4 teams per station # - 30 sols (days) # # Daily Output Formula: # Output = 50 + (Station × 3) + (Team × 2) + random noise (-5 to +5) # # Important Constraints: # - Only explicit for loops are used # - No apply(), aggregate(), mean(), rowSums(), etc. # - No user-defined functions # - All calculations are done manually using loops # # The script is divided into sections 1A–1F as required. # ============================================================================= # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1A. Generate Production Data # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Objective: # To generate a full dataset containing production output for every # combination of Sol, Station, and Team. # # Approach: # We use three nested for loops: # - Outer loop → Sol # - Middle loop → Station # - Inner loop → Team # # Each iteration calculates output using the given formula and stores # the result inside a pre-allocated data frame. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set seed for reproducibility (ensures same random values each run) set.seed(2026) # Define dimensions of simulation n_sol <- 30 n_station <- 6 n_team <- 4 # Total number of rows required (30 × 6 × 4) total_rows <- n_sol * n_station * n_team # Base production level BaseOutput <- 50 # Pre-allocate data frame for performance efficiency production_data <- data.frame( Sol = integer(total_rows), Station = integer(total_rows), Team = integer(total_rows), Output = integer(total_rows) ) # Row counter to track position in data frame row_counter <- 1 # Generate production data using nested loops for (sol in 1:n_sol) { for (station in 1:n_station) { for (team in 1:n_team) { # Generate random noise between -5 and +5 noise <- sample(-5:5, 1) # Apply output formula output <- BaseOutput + (station * 3) + (team * 2) + noise # Store values in data frame production_data$Sol[row_counter] <- sol production_data$Station[row_counter] <- station production_data$Team[row_counter] <- team production_data$Output[row_counter] <- output row_counter <- row_counter + 1 } } } cat("\n=== 1A. First 10 rows of production_data ===\n") print(head(production_data, 10)) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1B. Total Production per Station # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Objective: # To calculate total output for each station across all teams and sols. # # Approach: # We loop through every row of production_data. # For each row: # - Identify the station number # - Add the output value to that station's running total # # No built-in aggregation functions are used. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- station_totals <- data.frame( Station = 1:n_station, TotalOutput = integer(n_station) ) for (i in 1:nrow(production_data)) { st <- production_data$Station[i] station_totals$TotalOutput[st] <- station_totals$TotalOutput[st] + production_data$Output[i] } cat("\n=== 1B. Total Output per Station ===\n") print(station_totals) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1C. Detect Production Anomalies # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Objective: # Identify abnormal production values. # # Definition of anomaly: # A team’s output is considered an anomaly if it differs from the # daily station average by more than 10%. # # Approach: # 1. For each (Sol, Station): # - Collect the 4 team outputs # - Manually compute the daily average using a loop # 2. Compare each team’s output to the average # 3. Mark TRUE if deviation > 10% of average # # No mean() function is used. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- anomalies <- data.frame( Sol = integer(total_rows), Station = integer(total_rows), Team = integer(total_rows), Output = integer(total_rows), Anomaly = logical(total_rows) ) row_counter <- 1 for (sol in 1:n_sol) { for (station in 1:n_station) { base_row <- (sol - 1) * (n_station * n_team) + (station - 1) * n_team + 1 daily_outputs <- integer(n_team) for (t in 1:n_team) { daily_outputs[t] <- production_data$Output[base_row + t - 1] } # Manually compute daily average total <- 0 for (val in daily_outputs) { total <- total + val } daily_avg <- total / n_team # Check deviation for each team for (t in 1:n_team) { out <- daily_outputs[t] deviation <- abs(out - daily_avg) if (deviation > 0.1 * daily_avg) { flag <- TRUE } else { flag <- FALSE } anomalies$Sol[row_counter] <- sol anomalies$Station[row_counter] <- station anomalies$Team[row_counter] <- t anomalies$Output[row_counter] <- out anomalies$Anomaly[row_counter] <- flag row_counter <- row_counter + 1 } } } cat("\n=== 1C. First 10 rows of anomalies ===\n") print(head(anomalies, 10)) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1D. Identify Peak Productivity Days # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Objective: # For each station, determine the Sol (day) with the highest # total production. # # Approach: # For each station: # - Loop through all 30 sols # - Compute total output manually for that day # - Keep track of the maximum value found # # No max() or aggregate() functions are used. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- peak_days <- data.frame( Station = 1:n_station, Sol = integer(n_station), TotalOutput = numeric(n_station) ) for (station in 1:n_station) { max_total <- -9999 best_sol <- 1 for (sol in 1:n_sol) { base_row <- (sol - 1) * (n_station * n_team) + (station - 1) * n_team + 1 daily_total <- 0 for (t in 1:n_team) { daily_total <- daily_total + production_data$Output[base_row + t - 1] } if (daily_total > max_total) { max_total <- daily_total best_sol <- sol } } peak_days$Sol[station] <- best_sol peak_days$TotalOutput[station] <- max_total } cat("\n=== 1D. Peak Productivity Days ===\n") print(peak_days) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1E. Calculate Efficiency Score # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Objective: # Add a new variable called EfficiencyScore. # # Formula: # EfficiencyScore = Output / (Station + Team) # # Approach: # Loop through every row and compute manually. # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- production_data$EfficiencyScore <- numeric(nrow(production_data)) for (i in 1:nrow(production_data)) { station <- production_data$Station[i] team <- production_data$Team[i] output <- production_data$Output[i] production_data$EfficiencyScore[i] <- output / (station + team) } cat("\n=== 1E.
