Investigate-a-Dataset

View project on GitHub

Welcome to my “Investigate a Dataset” Project Page!

I completed this project for Udacity’s Data Analyst Nanodegree “Into to Data Analysis” course.

In this course we learned how to do the following things:

  • Know all the steps involved in a typical data analysis process
  • Be comfortable posing questions that can be answered with a given dataset and then answering those questions
  • Know how to investigate problems in a dataset and wrangle the data into a format you can use
  • Have practice communicating the results of your analysis
  • Be able to use vectorized operations in NumPy and Pandas to speed up your data analysis code
  • Be familiar with Pandas’ Series and DataFrame objects, which let you access your data more conveniently
  • Know how to use Matplotlib to produce plots showing your findings

For this project, I used Python to investigate a dataset containing demographics and passenger information from passengers and crew on board the Titanic.

Both the original .ipynb file and the generated .html file can be found by clicking the “View on GitHub” link above.

Enjoy!
