(Total: 60 points)

 In this hw, you will model some data available over the Internet.

 

So, first study the tutorial provided at the class web page at http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~korkmaz/teaching/cs5623/DataModel

 

Then, go to http://ita.ee.lbl.gov/html/contrib/WorldCup.html and see the information about the collected data and available tools.

 

Now you are asked to download only one file (you can select any file) from the second link

and determine an appropriate model  for

  1. the difference between timestamps as an inter-arrival  time if your sequence number is in [1,15]   
  2. the size if your sequence number is in [16,33] 

 

If the file has more than 10,000 entries, then only consider the first 10000 data points.

 

You are expected to

  1. extract the required data from one of the files at http://ita.ee.lbl.gov/html/contrib/WorldCup.html
  2. use matlab to model it, as we discussed in the tutorial at http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~korkmaz/teaching/cs5623/DataModel
  3. write a report similar to the tutorial I gave you.

 

Please also give the name of the file that you used.
