Statistical Analysis & Data Visualization of a Data Set of 1600 Survey Results Measuring
Work Related Burnout Using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI)
Need a statistical analysis of 1600 responses to the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory
(CBI), which is an instrument with high validity and reliability. Using Excel and
SPSS this statistical analysis would be part of a submission to a peer related journal.
Specifically, need Chronbachs alpha for internal reliability, skewness, means, standard
deviations, and multivariate outliers.

A Comprehensive Approach to Support the Requirements Analyst Before, During, and After
Requirements Elicitation Interviews
Requirements engineering is the set of activities concerned with determining and communicating
the expectations for a new or modified product, and the contexts in which it will
be used. Requirements elicitation, i.e., the practice of collecting these features,
called requirements, is the first of these activities and is recognized as a critical
and difficult stage in the development of software systems. Among the available elicitation
techniques, interviews with stakeholders are the most commonly used in practice. However,
a comprehensive approach to improve the effectiveness and the quality of requirements
elicitation interviews has not been studied yet. This research aims at filling this
gap by providing a set of novel techniques and tools to support the analyst before,
during, and after the interview.
