​Program Analysis and Identification System (PAIS)

The Program Analysis and Identification System (PAIS) is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of various exercise programs and generate a unique identifier for each program based on its performance metrics. This system ensures that each program can be uniquely identified, similar to a fingerprint, based on its analysis results.

Steps in the Analysis Process

1. Data Loading
    ```python
    data = pd.read_csv('exercise_program_data.csv')
    ```
    The data is loaded from a CSV file into a pandas DataFrame. The data should include columns for `ParticipantID`, `PreTestScore`, `PostTestScore`, and `Program`.

2. Function to Calculate Effectiveness and Generate a Unique Identifier
    ```python
    def analyze_program_effectiveness(data, program_name):
        ...
    ```
    This function takes the data and the name of a specific program as input and returns a dictionary of results, including a unique identifier.

3. Filtering Data
    ```python
    program_data = data[data['Program'] == program_name]
    ```
    The data is filtered to include only the records for the specified program.

4. Calculating Improvement Scores
    ```python
    program_data['Improvement'] = program_data['PostTestScore'] - program_data['PreTestScore']
    ```
    The improvement score for each participant is calculated as the difference between their post-test and pre-test scores.

5. Calculating Mean and Standard Deviation
    ```python
    mean_improvement = program_data['Improvement'].mean()
    std_improvement = program_data['Improvement'].std()
    ```
    The mean and standard deviation of the improvement scores are calculated. These metrics provide insight into the average improvement and the variability of the improvements, respectively.

6. Paired T-Test
    ```python
    t_statistic, p_value = stats.ttest_rel(program_data['PreTestScore'], program_data['PostTestScore'])
    ```
    A paired t-test is performed to determine if the improvement is statistically significant. The t-statistic and p-value are obtained from this test. A low p-value (typically < 0.05) indicates that the improvement is statistically significant.

7. Composite Score
    ```python
    composite_score = (mean_improvement / std_improvement)  (1 / p_value if p_value > 0 else 1)
    ```
    A composite score is calculated to quantify the overall effectiveness of the program. The formula used here takes into account the mean improvement, standard deviation, and p-value. Specifically:
    - `mean_improvement / std_improvement`: This ratio provides a measure of the effect size relative to the variability.
    - `1 / p_value`: This term gives more weight to programs with statistically significant results.
    - `if p_value > 0 else 1`: This ensures that the denominator is not zero, which would cause a division error.

8. Normalization
    ```python
    normalized_score = str(int(composite_score  10000))
    ```
    The composite score is multiplied by 10,000 and converted to an integer string. This normalization step scales the score to a consistent range, making it easier to handle in the next step.

9. Generating a Unique Identifier
    ```python
    unique_identifier = hashlib.sha256(normalized_score.encode()).hexdigest()
    ```
    A SHA-256 hash function is used to generate a unique identifier from the normalized composite score. This identifier serves as a unique "fingerprint" for the program, ensuring that even small differences in effectiveness are captured uniquely.

10. Results Compilation
    ```python
    results = {
        'Program': program_name,
        'Mean Improvement': mean_improvement,
        'Standard Deviation': std_improvement,
        'T-Statistic': t_statistic,
        'P-Value': p_value,
        'Composite Score': composite_score,
        'Unique Identifier': unique_identifier
    }
    return results
    ```
 The results, including the unique identifier, are compiled into a dictionary. This dictionary is returned by the function.

11. Analyzing All Programs
    ```python
    programs = data['Program'].unique()
    results = [analyze_program_effectiveness(data, program) for program in programs]
    ```
    The function is applied to each unique program in the dataset, and the results are collected in a list.

12. Converting Results to DataFrame
    ```python
    results_df = pd.DataFrame(results)
    ```
    The list of results is converted to a pandas DataFrame for easy viewing and further analysis.

13. Displaying Results
    ```python
    print(results_df)
    ```
The results DataFrame is printed, showing the effectiveness metrics and unique identifiers for each program.

Here is the Complete Code for anyone to use as a template for their business.

```python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
import hashlib

 Load the dataset
data = pd.read_csv('exercise_program_data.csv')

 Function to calculate the effectiveness and generate a unique identifier
def analyze_program_effectiveness(data, program_name):
     Filter data for the specific program
    program_data = data[data['Program'] == program_name]
    
     Calculate the improvement scores
    program_data['Improvement'] = program_data['PostTestScore'] - program_data['PreTestScore']
    
     Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the improvements
    mean_improvement = program_data['Improvement'].mean()
    std_improvement = program_data['Improvement'].std()
    
     Perform a paired t-test to determine if the improvement is statistically significant
    t_statistic, p_value = stats.ttest_rel(program_data['PreTestScore'], program_data['PostTestScore'])
    
     Create a composite score based on mean improvement, standard deviation, and p-value
    composite_score = (mean_improvement / std_improvement)  (1 / p_value if p_value > 0 else 1)
    
     Normalize composite score to a fixed range and convert to a string
    normalized_score = str(int(composite_score  10000))
    
     Generate a unique identifier using a hash function
    unique_identifier = hashlib.sha256(normalized_score.encode()).hexdigest()
    
     Results
    results = {
        'Program': program_name,
        'Mean Improvement': mean_improvement,
        'Standard Deviation': std_improvement,
        'T-Statistic': t_statistic,
        'P-Value': p_value,
        'Composite Score': composite_score,
        'Unique Identifier': unique_identifier
    }
    
    return results

 Analyze all programs
programs = data['Program'].unique()
results = [analyze_program_effectiveness(data, program) for program in programs]

 Convert results to DataFrame for easy viewing
results_df = pd.DataFrame(results)

 Display results
print(results_df)
```
