Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop procedures for manipulation and analysis of data
- 1.1. Desired data format is specified and based on job requirements.
- 1.2. Parameters are specified for manipulation of the data sets.
- 1.3. New procedures are documented clearly explaining the procedure and rationale for development.
2. Establish models required to provide outcome
- 2.1. Applicability of existing tools, models, theories, applications and solutions is evaluated.
- 2.2. Feasible parameters, equations and assumptions are specified.
- 2.3. Models required to provide specified outcome are established.
3. Analyse data
- 3.1. Steps to be undertaken to analyse and manipulate data are specified.
- 3.2. Source data limitations and other restricting factors are taken into account when selecting techniques for analysis.
- 3.3. Data is isolated and retrieved from its source.
- 3.4. Data is interrogated to ensure reliability.
- 3.5. Data is prepared for presentation media.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit are also required to be demonstrated.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
suitable procedures are developed
new procedures are documented
appropriate models are used and/or created.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
On the job or in a simulated work environment.
