Within construction, understanding the compressive strength of concrete is critical to providing an appropriate result for the job.  As such, a study from Chung-Hua University has provided data associated with the aggregate mixtures associated with concrete, curing age, and the resulting compressive strength.  Please download this dataset and provide an analysis to address the following question: A construction company is very interested in understanding the relationship between the age of the concrete and its compressive strength.  Please analyze this relationship and provide a useful characterization of the results. Be sure to include an overview of the problem, a structured analysis of the problem with a formal write-up of your results (in addition to software output), and an interpretation of the results. Use the attached data set for the scenario above.  Data Source: I-Cheng Yeh, “Modeling of strength of high performance concrete using artificial neural networks,” Cement and Concrete Research, Vol. 28, No. 12, pp. 1797-1808 (1998)
