This independent research is to identify and discuss the Critical Success Factors (CSF’s) in implementing an ERP system. With the basis of the classic case study about i2 system, Nike’s supply chain debacle and their subsequent victory has provided us with valuable lessons that we can learn.

The composition of child mortality has changed over time. In particular a larger proportion of deaths are classed as neonatal mortality, which is a death that occurs within one month of birth.

The purpose of this analysis is to conduct a preliminary analysis on a set of US bankruptcy data in order to better understand and potentially categorise different types of bankruptcy. Before this analysis takes place, a brief data description is provided, followed by some data wrangling and exploration to first clean the data, and then visualise some of the patterns and characteristics present in it.

This analysis is to look into aspects of analysing churn data. Customer churn time is the length of time a customer stays with a company before leaving. This is a vital metric in many businesses and there is great interest in estimating it. The churn time changes, so we always want to estimate it with the most recent data available. This is statistically challenging as many (hopefully most) customers will have not churned at the time when the data is collected. This means that customer churn data is highly censored.
