IA3 Data Interface, Data Structure and Data Specification

IA3 Data Interface, Data Structure and Data Specification

1. Impacts

   • Social
     • To build a better relationship with friends who play pokemon
   • Personal
     • To increase your knowledge of the stats of different pokemon
   • Economic
     • The web application may bring new players to pokemon increasing the popularity of the game

2. Normalisation Strategies

   • Scaling to a range
     • To transfer data so it fits within a specific scaling
   • Log Scaling
     • Computes the log of your data values to compress a wide narrow range
   • Clipping
     • Establishing a maximum and minimum values for the dataset
   • Z-Score
     • Scales the value of a feature to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1

3. Self Determined Criteria

   • Description: Web application allows a user to categorise the Pokémon based on their stats.
     • Requirement 1: User can catergorise Pokémon data.
     • Requirement 2: User can order data from lowest to highest.
     • Requirement 3: User can group Pokémon with similar or different stats together

4. Prescribed Criteria

   • Prescribed Criteria 1
     • Description: Web application uses data from an external data source
       • Requirement 1: Data is used in the web application.
       • Requirement 2: An external data source provides the web application with data.
   • Prescribed Criteria 2
     • Description: Web application displays Pokémon Data from an external data source​
       • Requirements 1: Web application displays the Pokémon data.
       • Requirement 2: An external data source is used to display the data.
   • Prescribed Criteria 3
     • Description: Web application allows a user to search the Pokémon statistics
       • Requirement 1: User has the option to search for Pokémon.
