13.4 Summary

This project begins the deeper analysis work on clean data. It emphasizes several key skills, including:

  • More advanced Jupyter Notebook techniques. This includes setting the PYTHONPATH to import modules and creating figures with plots to visualize data.

  • Using PyPlot to present data. The project uses popular types of visualizations: histograms and scatter plots.

  • Unit testing for Jupyter Notebook functions.

In the next chapter, we’ll formalize the notebook into a presentation “slide deck” that can be shown to a group of stakeholders.
