Cleaning Airline Data with Python
In this project a messy dataset about airline flights is cleaned to enable it to be used for further analysis. For this purpose, the project uses Python pandas library.
Exploratory Data Analysis of Facebook Ad Data with Python
In this project facebook ad data is analysed through means of an exploratory data analysis. Metrics commonly use in ad analysis are implemented and investigated. It is assumed business performance is driven by absolute return on advertising spend and as such the ROAS metric is targeted. This preliminary analysis suggests further campaigns should focus on the 30-34 age group, particularly males. The advertising spend is least effectively targeted on the 45-49 age group. However, the number of clicks associated with these conclusions is in some cases low and it is therefore suggested that further work aim to show the statistical significance of targeting these groups.
Live Travel and Weather Updates using APIs
Having up to date and specific weather and travel information in a single point of reference for the daily commute can be a very useful time saver and convenience. This project uses real time and forcasted data from the Transport for London Unified API and the MET Office weather API Datapoint to develop a plotly Dash dashboard. The dashboard provides up to date travel information for several designated routes as well as real time and forcasted weather information for the local area. The dashboard is deployed online using Heroku.
Using Docker and Kubernetes to produce a scalable fraud detection API
In this report a simple logistic regression model is used to classify credit card transactions as fraudulent or not. A Recall of 0.8 and Precision of 0.7 is obtained for a false positive rate of 0.0005. However, for a model to be useful from a business perspective an understanding of how to deploy the model in the real world is important. Docker and Kubernetes are investigated for this purpose.
Visualizing Japan's Population Data using D3.js, Flask and MongoDB
In this project an interactive data visualisation is created using a dataset containing Japan's population between 1871 and 2015. The data is broken down by geographic region in a number of ways, including by island, prefecture, region and capital.
Web Scraping text data with Scrapy and Beautiful Soup
There is a wealth of information available on the internet. Web scraping is the process which enables people to collate and start to organise this data into a more structured format for further analysis. This project investigates this process using data provided by the UK Parliment, in particular the financial interests of members of the House of Commons. Attributes of the html data motivate the use of two Python libraries, Beautiful Soup and Scrapy, for this work.
