Exploring Data Analysis and Visualization with MATLAB: A Senior Project Idea

In summary, the conversation was about a senior in need of ideas for their senior project in their Computer and Business Technology course. They were introduced to MATLAB by their father and were considering using it for their project. However, they needed suggestions that were not related to gambling, required at least 150 hours of work, and were of medium to medium-hard difficulty. A suggestion was made to use MATLAB to analyze the stock market, which would involve a lot of data and research, but could potentially be seen as gambling.

Homework Statement



I'm currently a senior in need to do a senior project for my Computer and Business Technology course. My father is, currently, enrolled in college and introduced me to MATLAB. I figured the program would be a good idea for a senior project, but I really need ideas/suggestions.
  • Cannot be related to gambling in any way
  • Minimum 150 hours of work on project
  • Medium/Medium-Hard difficulty would be nice

Any suggestions would be amazing and very much appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.

matlab is good at analyzing massive amounts of data, so i'd recommend something with a lot of data available and a lot of tenacity behind the field of its analysis: aka a program to analyze the stock market

however, the the stock market could be construed as gambling... still, it's business-esque, would take much research, and require a good bit of coding.
