Read the project guidelines at [https://www2.stat.duke.edu/~pdh10/Teaching/832/project.html].
Identify one or more ideas for a paper project and one or more ideas for a data project. The two projects can be related.
If you want suggestions on either, please email me, stating what sort of things you think might interest you, or come by office hours to discuss it.
Write a brief (1 paragraph) proposal for each of the projects and submit it as a homework.
