The objectives of this lab are:
- Know the Iris Dataset (you will use it tomorrow)
- Review cleaning concepts
As you know, data comes with a lot of errors. In this lab we propose you a challenge. We have purposely added some errors to the famous Iris flower dataset. Let's take a look on the data and fix some possible errors as:
-
Data is encoded properly.
-
Data falls within the expected range, and use domain knowledge whenever possible to define that expected range.
-
Deal with missing data in one way or another: replace it if you can or drop it.
-
Never tidy your data manually because that is not easily reproducible
-
Use code as a record of how you tidied your data
-
Plot everything you can about the data at this stage of the analysis so you can visually confirm everything looks correct
- A notebook with the code you used to clean the data.
- The final data in a csv.
