“10 free public datasets for EDA”

Use only one dataset and analyze the data using Microsoft Excel to discover the structure of data, trends, patterns, or any anomalies in the data based on your own hypothesis. Perform the following tasks. You should use visualization to aid your answer.

The final project report which must incorporate all the following 5 tasks and written using the provided template. (14 marks distributed among the below tasks).

==========================================================

Task 1: Understand and describe the nature and structure of the selected dataset. (3 marks)

A brief description about the dataset.

Identify the features of dataset.

Propose hypothesis / assumptions (between 2 variables) to validate.

Task 2: Reduce the dimension of the datasets to support the hypothesis validation. If necessary, do data preprocessing on any missing values, duplicate values, etc. You can also generate new feature from the any of the provided features that may support your hypothesis. Due to the limitation of processing power of some devices, you can reduce your dataset to 1000 tuples. (3 marks)

Task 3: Provide descriptive statistics for some feature using statistical method to understand the dataset more and answer the following analysis questions :(4 marks)

Compare different attributes (features). What trend did you find?

Include any of the measure of central tendency such as the mean, median, and mode.

Describe the spread of your data. This may include the measure of variance, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis.

(You are encouraged to impose other analysis questions based on any trend you notice in the dataset).

Task 4: Validate the hypothesis in Task 3 by investigating the relationship between two quantitative variables you have chosen using correlation, regression and R-squared with possible conclusions. (3 marks)

Task 5: Show visual representation of your analysis (hint: use the right chart/graph for your data analysis). (1 mark)
