UVic_BIDA302_capstone

This repository houses the capstone projects for UVic BIDA302 (Data Analytics Coding Fundamentals)

The main course repo is https://github.com/MonkmanMH/UVic_BIDA302

Project description

• A small project that will require the application of all of the concepts introduced

  • importing data

  • data wrangling—all the necessary data tidying and transformations

  • data modeling and summarization

  • communication (including tabular and plotting visualization)

• The project will be introduced in Week 4.

• Some projects will be available for you to choose from (listed below), but you may also bring your own data.

• To do this, you will have the end already defined: a summary table and/or a plot of some data that has been published.

• In the defined projects, you are to replicate a summary table and plot—you will have all the necessary data, and the end-goal. It's up to you to use your data analytics coding skills to create that summary table, plot.
