Peer review for proposal - Group 5

[khointn]

Hi, it's Nguyen Khoi from group 5. Here are some of my reviews of your proposal.

Overall, the proposal for analyzing tornado occurrences in the United States is well-structured, featuring a comprehensive dataset and clear research questions. It effectively outlines the variables and analytical techniques to be used, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to addressing the characteristics and impacts of tornadoes.

It could benefit from a few enhancements to further strengthen its quality, including:

• Provide several important attributes of the datasets in your proposal in your dataset description could give the readers a better overview.

• In your question, it would be great if you consider external factors like climate change, which might provide a more comprehensive understanding of the observed patterns.

Great job !!!

there're not a lot of things we can discuss about this proposal as they spend lots of effort and gave good details on all the questions. It makes sense that you suggest them to include the data description, as they refer to a lot of the variables without explaining them in details. So having the full description will help the documents self-contained

Thank you for such valid points. Here are our amendments for the proposal:

• Data description: We have included the full description of variables (name, data type, description) for a comprehensive proposal.
• External factor (i.e. climate change): We did not think about it at first, but thanks to your suggestion, we will take this into consideration while plotting and visualizing, and analyzing to see how these external factors correlate with the number of tornados, by using external qualitative/quantitative sources to back up the evidences. Thank you for the suggestion.
