(Data Science people: I did this with pandas and SQL in a Jupyter notebook. You can take a look at my github. It ain’t pretty though. The graphs below were matplotlib) (All data used in creating these rankings is publically available at pdga.com) Disc Golf Fans… It was a weekend where the best in the land were spread out across […]
Man I learned a lot doing this project. So… more stuff I learned (or re-learned), when making my disc golf power rankings happen (part 1 is here)… So I have a list of lists, how do I get the name of list instead of its contents? So, for some reason I wanted to make a list of lists of the […]
Ok. Maybe that’s a disingenuous title. Basically I sat in the darkness of my apartment, while my girlfriend wondered what was wrong with me, and typed stuff into a jupyter notebook. Then I commented that out and typed something else. Then I gave my screen a dirty look. Then I realized I typed a period instead of an underscore. Repeat. […]
So, when we left off we were looking at population, GDP per capita, and urbanization metrics. Nothing jumped out except the urbanization… (tl;dr the first five posts in this series… I’m looking at connections between population and economic metrics and country success at the olympics. To start at the beginning, check out part 1.) (Standard warning in all my posts. I’m […]
Ok. So I have my main working tables, Athletes and Countries, (finally) done… (tl;dr the first four posts in this series… I’m looking at connections between population and economic metrics and country success at the olympics. To start at the beginning, check out part 1.) (Standard warning in all my posts. I’m a beginner. Nothing below should be taken as the […]
OK. So I just figured out what to do about countries being called different names across datasets are two Congos are now “Congo (Kinshasa)” and “Congo (Brazzaville)”. I worry though, I’ll have to deal with this issue again… (tl;dr the first three posts in this series… I’m looking at connections between population and economic metrics and country success at the […]
(Standard warning in all my posts. I’m a beginner. Nothing below should be taken as the best way of doing things, a good way of doing things, or even a right way of doing things. If you think you know better than me, you probably do. Please comment with better practices) So, I was working on my first week’s assignment […]
So we’ve come to the last course in the Learn SQL Basics for Data Science specialization from UC-Davis (via Coursera), the capstone project. Here we supposedly take what we learned during the other courses and make something. Really, though, in the early days of this course I’m still learning a lot. So I’m writing this series of posts as a […]
