Read the articles and view the videos above and answer the following below listed questions: Software development methodology differs from company to company, although there are techniques and methodologies used to insure quality and performance of a software system. There is no perfect system or methodology. Bugs and problems always occur. The Killer Robot case is the quintessential ethics scenario from the Online Ethics Center for Engineering & Science. The case begins with the manslaughter indictment of a robotics programmer whose faulty code may have caused the death of a factory worker that operated the robot. Today robots and robotic systems are used on assembly lines, in the military and police, drug manufacturing and human body parts. We all have heard of Siri and Roomba. New and exciting uses for robots are being developed. South Korea has created a robotic code of ethics. Do you think there should be an ethical code for robots and robotic systems? Do you think there should be an ethical code for robotic engineers, designers and corporations? Do you think engineers, programmers and companies should be held responsible if their robots run amuck and hurt someone? Does it matter if they are not “professionals”? Do you think robots should be used by the US government to replace soldiers in a time of war? Where else does the military use robots? Do you think robots should be used to assist in caretaking of the sick, elderly and children? Do you think robotic replacement parts should be used in humans? What special design and testing would need to be done? Can you think of other ethical considerations of using robots and robotics? Give your opinion and some examples. http://www.ted.com/talks/amber_case_we_are_all_cyborgs_now? http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/12/19/2451098.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6GjUKyv-qo

Unfortunately, over the last several years, there have been many examples of illegal and unethical business dealings; some involved practicing unethical accounting processes, as well as situations that involved public figures from various genres caught performing various questionable activities. From a philosophical and theoretical point of view, do you feel that individuals holding positions of power or influence should be held to higher levels of accountability for their unethical actions or inactions?

to find a predictor of interest, to demonstrate that it is associated with your outcome of choice…

/in /by

Overview
For this homework, you must use multiple regression to determine what influences an outcome of your choice. Your overarching goals are:
1) to find a predictor of interest, to demonstrate that it is associated with your outcome of choice, and to describe that association.
2) to propose two potential explanations for the association and to generate evidence that will help you determine whether the potential explanations are supported by the data.
Data
For this homework, you can use either the 2016 General Social Survey or a dataset of your choice.
• If you chose to work with the GSS, be aware that some of the narrower survey items are not asked of all respondents. As a result, there will be a large number of missing observations for the variables. To complete this homework, a sufficient number of respondents (more than about 100 at minimum) must have valid non-missing data for all the variables you plan to use. When conducting regression analysis, you must estimate your regressions on the same sample. This means that you will need to exclude from all regression models those respondents who have missing values on any of the variables included in your four nested models.
Association between two variables
You must identify two variables (one outcome, one predictor) and estimate their association using regression analysis. Please choose something different from your last assignment, but the idea here is the same. For example, if you are interested in gender inequality in labor markets, you could look at the association between gender (predictor) and income (outcome). If you are interested in what explains individual prejudice, you could examine how scores on one of the GSS measure of racial attitude (outcome) varies by educational attainment (predictor).
Potential explanations
You must propose TWO potential explanation for the association you observed in the previous step. For example, say you are interested in gender inequality in the labor market, and you observe that women report a (statistically significant) lower income than men in your data. Here are two potential explanations for women having lower incomes on average than men.
1) women are less competent than men and income levels reflect competence
2) women are the primary care giver for young children and as a result miss work more often than men; missing work leads to lower income
The GSS has some measures of cognitive ability. You could potentially test the first explanation by controlling for these variables in your model and determining whether doing so explains the original relationship between gender and income. You could test the second explanation in a variety of ways, including (for example) an interaction term examining whether the effect of having children on income differs across gender. Again, remember that the point here is not to propose the one correct explanation, but to generate hypotheses that can be tested using regression analysis.
Analysis requirements
Overall, you will be estimating at least four regression models: a bivariate model, a model that adds control variables, a model that adds measures of your first explanation, and a model that adds measures of your second explanation. In an appendix, you must also provide additional information on model specification and assumptions. More detailed requirements are provided below.
