Welcome to My Blog!

Hello! 



My name is Alec Gremer!

Background
I am a student in my final year at the University of South Florida. Prior to my enrollment at USF, I attained my AA degree from Hillsborough Community College, and I am currently seeking a Bachelor's in Information Science with a concentration in Data Analytics.



I was born in Tampa and have lived here ever since. I graduated with honors from Gaither High School in 2019. I was a proud member of the Marching Cowboys for all four years and I have a strong love for music. Leading up to and through the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked at Guitar Center of Tampa where I worked as a Sales and Operations Associate. Currently, I play guitar, drums, and bass.

I have had the opportunity to travel to numerous different destinations throughout the world, including Mexico, France, Italy, and many more. Most recently, I took a trip out to Arizona to celebrate the holidays with some family I have in the region. Despite being in a desert, it was actually one of the coldest trips I had ever taken.

Since high school, I found an interest in computer informatics and database design. My courses in school dealt heavily with computer science and computer oriented programming. I have dealt with numerous different computing languages such as Python and JavaScript. I also have an interest in building computers and have my own PC that I built back in 2020. Additionally, I have experience in photo and video editing software such as Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.

Social Media
I have used a lot of social media in the past, but now I only tend to use Twitter and Instagram. Twitter is an app I usually only use to keep up with news or sports, while Instagram is what I use to document my life a little bit. I also use Facebook from time to time, but only for the marketplace feature to sell or buy things I may need. Snapchat was an app I used throughout high school to communicate with friends, but I rarely ever use it nowadays.

Blogging




This is my first time creating a blog, and I do not have much experience with blogs, either posting to one or keeping up with one. I don't really have an opinion towards blogs as they are simply something that I haven't invested a lot of time into, however I expect this to change as I do take some more time to learn about them. I do admire how blogs have the potential to reveal a lot about a person.

LIS 4317 Final Project: Fuel Economy Data from the U.S Dept. of Energy

  LIS 4317 Final Project: Fuel Economy Data from the U.S Dept. of Energy Investigating the association between vehicle features and CO2 emissions in a dataset comprising fuel efficiency data is the issue statement for my final project. The objective is to ascertain the extent to which CO2 emissions differ among various vehicle classes. In order to evaluate the effects of automobiles on the environment and pinpoint possible areas where fuel efficiency regulations could be strengthened, further investigation is essential. The idea suggests that specific vehicle classes, like larger cars or ones with bigger engines, might have more CO2 emissions than other car classes. This issue is set within the larger framework of transportation research and environmental sustainability. The relationship between vehicle characteristics and emissions, particularly CO2 emissions, has been well studied in the past. Numerous techniques, such as statistical evaluations and graphics, have been used to in...

LIS 4317: Module #13 Assignment

Image
  Module 13 Assignment A powerful visual representation of random sampling from a uniform distribution is provided by the animation produced with the animation package and the R programming language. The animation shows a plot of ten randomly selected values from the uniform distribution in each frame. The y-axis boundaries are always set between 0 and 1 to facilitate comparisons. As the animation goes on, viewers will be able to see how the generated numbers are distributed randomly and with variability; some frames show clustered dots, while others show a more scattered distribution. An interactive and dynamic element can be added to presentations, blog posts, or instructional materials by saving the animation as a GIF. This makes it easily shareable and a useful tool for presenting ideas connected to random sampling.  The plot() method is used to create scatter plots, and the Sys.sleep() function adds a little delay between frames to make sure the animation is visible. The ...

LIS 4370 - Module #3 Data Frame

  Module #3 Data Frame The dataset showed hypothetical results of the 2016 Presidential campaign. The dataset provided had a couple of mistakes that resulted in errors. Original Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", “Donald”, "Ted”, “Marco” “Carly”, “Hillary”, “Berine”) > ABC political poll results <- c(4, 62 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS political poll results <- c(12, 75, 43, 19, 1, 21, 19)  There  are missing commas in the "Name" vector, as well as in the "ABC political poll results" vector. Additionally, the names of the results vectors were not underscored, therefore they could not be interpreted in R. For the values to be interpreted, the code should look as follows: Modified Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", "Donald", "Ted", "Marco", "Carly", "Hillary", "Bernie") > ABC_political_poll_results <- c(4, 62, 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS_political_poll_results <- c(12, 75, 43,...
