Email Exchange About 2016 Election Data Analysis Project (File 031640)
Email correspondence between Jeffrey E. and Zubair Khan discussing a data analytics project that tracked voter sentiment and social media trends during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with analysis of Clinton and Trump campaign performance.
Summary
Jeffrey E. and Zubair Khan exchange emails about their election prediction data analytics project. Khan reports that their model correctly predicted Trump's victory in 11 of 13 states, analyzing social media sentiment and voter data. He notes Trump dominated positive social media coverage throughout the election period compared to Clinton's post-FBI clearance spike. Khan mentions plans to shut down the project due to high data acquisition costs and lack of funding, and indicates he will refocus on cybersecurity work.

The ones we got wrong are NY and WI.In the last report, analyzed data was of 3 days in which Clinton got a positive spike after she got clearancefrom FBI. However Trump dominated the social media positively if we analyze one week data before startingtime of election, monthly data and entire data which we have gathered for months. Based on this we predictedon our Facebook page on 30th October that Trump will be next president of US.Our model works but I think the important question which we failed to answer is that how much historic datamust be analyzed to make the right decision. This could have been answered if we had a Data Scientist. Also Ibelieve its a great tool to track voters and get them to vote. It can be used in French elections next year orelections of Brazil in 2018 but unfortunately I have to shut down this project as getting data from Twitter isexpensive and the start up is running out of money.I am going to focus on cyber security again and will definitely reach out if I have a powerful investable idea.Regards,Zubair KhanOn Nov 11, 2016, at 4:49 AM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:not so goodplease noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
