The file eBayAuctions. csv contains information on 1972 auctions that transacted on eBay. com during May–June 2004. The goal is to use these data to build a model that will classify auctions as competitive or noncompetitive. A competitive auction is defined as an auction with at least two bids placed on the item auctioned. The data include variables that describe the item (auction category), the seller (his/her eBay rating), and the auction terms that the seller selected (auction duration, opening price, currency, day-of-week of auction close). In addition, we have the price at which the auction closed. The task is to predict whether or not the auction will be competitive. Data Preprocessing. Convert variable Duration into a categorical variable. Split the data into training (60%) and validation (40%) datasets.
a. Fit a classification tree using all predictors, using the best-pruned tree. To avoid overfitting, set the minimum number of records in a terminal node to 50 (in R: min-bucket = 50). Also, set the maximum number of levels to be displayed at seven (in R: max-depth = 7). Write down the results in terms of rules. (Note: If you had to slightly reduce the number of predictors due to software limitations, or for clarity of presentation, which would be a good variable to choose?)
b. Is this model practical for predicting the outcome of a new auction?
c. Describe the interesting and uninteresting information that these rules provide.
d. Fit another classification tree (using the best-pruned tree, with a minimum number of records per terminal node = 50 and maximum allowed number of displayed levels = 7), this time only with predictors that can be used for predicting the outcome of a new auction. Describe the resulting tree in terms of rules. Make sure to report the smallest set of rules required for classification.
e. Plot the resulting tree on a scatter plot: Use the two axes for the two best (quantitative) predictors. Each auction will appear as a point, with coordinates corresponding to its values on those two predictors. Use different colors or symbols to separate competitive and noncompetitive auctions. Draw lines (you can sketch these by hand or use R) at the values that create splits. Does this splitting seem reasonable with respect to the meaning of the two predictors? Does it seem to do a good job of separating the two classes?
f. Examine the lift chart and the confusion matrix for the tree. What can you say about the predictive performance of this model?
g. Based on this last tree, what can you conclude from these data about the chances of an auction obtaining at least two bids and its relationship to the auction settings set by the seller (duration, opening price, ending day, currency)? What would you recommend for a seller as the strategy that will most likely lead to a competitive auction?

The animal classthis class represents a an animal residing at a zoo. it has a weight (in pounds),height (in inches), a name, and a color. the methods in the class include constructors, getters, and a tostring. you will finish the implementation of these methods. referto the code documentation.1.getters: you will need to implement getter methods. these get a value (froma member variable) in the animal class. you will make a getter method toreturn each variable (weight, height, name, color). reference getname if youare having issues.2.tostring: you will need to finish the tostring method. this returns a stringcontaining information about an animal. the output string should be of theformat: ” (name) , a ( color )â’colored animal . ( weight ) pounds , ( height ) inches .\n”the height and weight are formatted to 1 decimal place. recall from lab 1how to format strings neatly using string. see the reference sectionfor more about string. format.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e. g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

Ihave a music player on my phone. i can buy songs, add them to playlists and play them. obviously it would be redundant to store each song in each playlist; each playlist is just a list of pointers to the songs. for this lab you will simulate this behavior. your program will need to have options to: add songs to the system library (you will store the text of the first line of the song, rather than the audio) add playlists add songs to a playlist list playlists play a playlist list all of the songs in the library with a count of how many times each song has been played remove a song from a playlist remove a playlist remove a song from the library (and thus from all playlists that contain it) note that we will not be checking many error cases. in real programming this would be bad, you should usually try to recognize and respond to as many types of errors as you can. in the context of class we are trying to acquaint you with as many concepts as possible, so for the sake of educational efficiency we will not be checking most errors in this lab, you may assume that your user provides correct input. you may add all appropriate error testing if you wish, but we will not be testing for it.
