A Data Programming Project $($Programming with data$)$

Now that you have had a chance to explore some techniques and tools in Python, it is time to start working on your own exploratory data analysis project.

This is a chance for you to explore a research area of your choosing. You will identify a clear agenda for research and explore this topic at a high level.

Expectations:$----------$

Identify your own research area and questions, including importing knowledge from external sources.

Acquiring a dataset that is fit for purpose.

Exploring the dataset through different lenses, identifying key features and potential flaws in the data.

Produce a systematic, rigorous and well$-$reasoned report on how you work through the dataset.

Describe at both a technical and analytical level, how and why you are approaching the problem space in a particular way.

Identify gaps in your approach, the dataset and any techniques, tools, libraries or data structures that you choose to utilise.

Consider the ownership $($provenance$)$ of data through a data processing pipeline and how this might manifest.

Consider how data can be prepared, refined and explored for further analysis e$.$g$.$ for a final year project.

Critically analyse, evaluate and summarise findings from a mini$-$research project.

Reflect on both processes and outcomes of your project, including any missing steps or stages.

Give a valuable account as to how your analysis provides useful and interesting insights around some dataset.

You should present your work in a single Jupyter Notebook $(.$ipynb file$)$ as part of a larger $($ZIP$)$ archive of files. Any data that you use should also

be included and readily accessible for checking $$ included in the ZIP archive. Your ZIP archive should not exceed $30$MB in total, including your

ipynb file and any data that you choose to utilise. The dataset should not be more than $10$MB in total size.

The marking rubric includes a description of expectations and deliverables, where sections a$-$j are each worth a total of $5$ marks.
