Your department has 4 engines, 1 ladder, a heavy rescue squad and 2 medic units. Each has breathing apparatus with spare cylinders, however the SCBA are not the same brand. Although they have been maintained, some of these SCBA are nearly 15 years old. Provide a program to replace these SCBA with new units that are the same brand and model. Include all costs and justify your proposal. Counting some spare SCBA’s and cylinders, the inventory currently totals 35 complete SCBA and an additional inventory of 70 spare cylinders.
Review the topics below and select one for your research paper. Provide a research paper (150 pts) that examines the issue AND a power point presentation (50 pts) that outlines the proposal to a city council, fire board, etc. Do not assume that the governing bodies fully understand your fire departments needs.
The paper must be in full APA format and be 5-8 pages in length. The powerpoint should be concise, cover key points, and be approximately 5 to 8 slides not counting the title slide. The research paper and powerpoint should be submitted separately in Blackboard.

Question ..
Your department has 4 engines, 1 ladder, a heavy rescue squad and 2 medic units. Each has breathing apparatus with spare cylinders, however the SCBA are not the same brand. Although they have been maintained, some of these SCBA are nearly 15 years old. Provide a program to replace these SCBA with new units that are the same brand and model. Include all costs and justify your proposal. Counting some spare SCBA’s and cylinders, the inventory currently totals 35 complete SCBA and an additional inventory of 70 spare cylinders.
Discuss the insights you gained from this analysis, such as: How does each attribute influence the change? Which attribute seems to have stronger correlation with the change? Does the linear regression model seem accurate to you?
Linear regression is one of the fundamental models for data mining. The
model describes a linear relationship between a number of numerical
attributes x= (x1, x2, …, xn) and a predicted variable y in the form of
y = 𝒂’x+b,
where a ∈ Rn and b ∈ R are parameters to be determined by training. The
training process takes a set of K training examples
(X, Y) = {(x^1, y1^), (x^2, y^2), …, (x^K, y^K)},
where each xi ∈ Rn is a vector of attributes. The parameters a and b are
determined by minimizing the mean squared error (MSE):
MSE = ∑ Ki=1 [yi – (a’xi+b)]2
Build a linear regression for the following program effort data. Each
training sample consists of an index of social setting, an index of family
planning effort, and the percentage change in the crude birth rate (CBR)
between 1965 and 1975, for 20 countries in Latin America. Here, we want to
predict change (y) using setting (x1) and effort (x2). Therefore, we have that
n = 2 and K =20.
Write an AMPL model for the optimization problem, and submit it to NEOS
to obtain the optimal parameters a and b in the linear regression model. You
need to choose a suitable solver in NEOS. You cannot use any other existing
software for linear regression. Submit the following:
1) The AMPL model file (and data file, if any)
2) A print-out of the solution from your NEOS solver.
3) A table listing the model error yi-(a’xi+b) for all the 20 countries.
4) Discuss the insights you gained from this analysis, such as: How does
each attribute influence the change? Which attribute seems to have stronger
correlation with the change? Does the linear regression model seem accurate
to you?
