Week-11 (11/27) Planning and strategies for Boston data set.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):

Compute Basic Statistics:

Mean, Median, Standard Deviation:

For each important economic indicator, compute the mean (average), median (middle value), and standard deviation
(a measure of data spread). These statistics measure variability and a central trend in your data.

Visualize Trends Over Time:

Line Charts or Time-Series Plots:

  • Plot each economic statistic on a monthly basis from January 2013 to December 2019.
  • Recognize patterns, peaks, and troughs. This graphical format aids comprehension of the general behavior of
    economic data.

Identify Seasonality or Patterns:

Seasonal Decomposition:

  • To find seasonal components in data, use approaches such as seasonal decomposition of time series (e.g., with Python tools such as ‘statsmodels’).
  • Look for repeating patterns or cycles at regular intervals.

Feature Engineering:

Create New Features:

Calculate Growth Rate:

  • Develop a new capability for calculating the growth rate of economic indicators. This can be expressed as a
    percentage change from one period to the next.
  • Growth rates can reflect the pace at which economic indices rise or fall.

Aggregating Data:

  • To acquire a higher-level picture, aggregate the data by quarters or years.
  • This can aid in smoothing out data noise and identifying long term patterns.

Correlation Analysis:

Explore Relationships:

Correlation Matrices:

  • Determine the correlation coefficients (e.g., Pearson and Spearman) between two economic indices.
  • A correlation matrix can assist in comprehending the strength and direction of correlations. A near to 1 number implies a high positive connection, -1 is a strong negative correlation, and 0 is no correlation.

Scatter Plots:

  • Create scatter plots for pairs of economic indicators to inspect their relationships visually.
  • Looking for linear or non-linear patterns in the scatter plots.

  1. Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?

    I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss
    and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would enjoy your work.
    If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.

  2. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
