# Pandas Homework - Pandas, Pandas, Pandas ## Background The data dive continues! Now, it's time to take what you've learned about Python Pandas and apply it to new situations. For this assignment, you'll need to complete **one of two** (not both) Data Challenges. Once again, which challenge you take on is your choice. Just be sure to give it your all -- as the skills you hone will become powerful tools in your data analytics tool belt. ### Before You Begin 1. Create a new repository for this project called `pandas-challenge`. **Do not add this homework to an existing repository**. 2. Clone the new repository to your computer. 3. Inside your local git repository, create a directory for the Pandas Challenge you choose. Use folder names corresponding to the challenges: **HeroesOfPymoli** or **PyCitySchools**. 4. Add your Jupyter notebook to this folder. This will be the main script to run for analysis. 5. Push the above changes to GitHub or GitLab. ## Option 1: Heroes of Pymoli  Congratulations! After a lot of hard work in the data munging mines, you've landed a job as Lead Analyst for an independent gaming company. You've been assigned the task of analyzing the data for their most recent fantasy game Heroes of Pymoli. Like many others in its genre, the game is free-to-play, but players are encouraged to purchase optional items that enhance their playing experience. As a first task, the company would like you to generate a report that breaks down the game's purchasing data into meaningful insights. Your final report should include each of the following: ### Player Count * Total Number of Players ### Purchasing Analysis (Total) * Number of Unique Items * Average Purchase Price * Total Number of Purchases * Total Revenue ### Gender Demographics * Percentage and Count of Male Players * Percentage and Count of Female Players * Percentage and Count of Other / Non-Disclosed ### Purchasing Analysis (Gender) * The below each broken by gender * Purchase Count * Average Purchase Price * Total Purchase Value * Average Purchase Total per Person by Gender ### Age Demographics * The below each broken into bins of 4 years (i.e. <10, 10-14, 15-19, etc.) * Purchase Count * Average Purchase Price * Total Purchase Value * Average Purchase Total per Person by Age Group ### Top Spenders * Identify the the top 5 spenders in the game by total purchase value, then list (in a table): * SN * Purchase Count * Average Purchase Price * Total Purchase Value ### Most Popular Items * Identify the 5 most popular items by purchase count, then list (in a table): * Item ID * Item Name * Purchase Count * Item Price * Total Purchase Value ### Most Profitable Items * Identify the 5 most profitable items by total purchase value, then list (in a table): * Item ID * Item Name * Purchase Count * Item Price * Total Purchase Value As final considerations: * You must use the Pandas Library and the Jupyter Notebook. * You must submit a link to your Jupyter Notebook with the viewable Data Frames. * You must include a written description of three observable trends based on the data. * See [Example Solution](HeroesOfPymoli/HeroesOfPymoli_starter.ipynb) for a reference on expected format. ## Option 2: PyCitySchools  Well done! Having spent years analyzing financial records for big banks, you've finally scratched your idealistic itch and joined the education sector. In your latest role, you've become the Chief Data Scientist for your city's school district. In this capacity, you'll be helping the school board and mayor make strategic decisions regarding future school budgets and priorities. As a first task, you've been asked to analyze the district-wide standardized test results. You'll be given access to every student's math and reading scores, as well as various information on the schools they attend. Your responsibility is to aggregate the data to and showcase obvious trends in school performance. Your final report should include each of the following: ### District Summary * Create a high level snapshot (in table form) of the district's key metrics, including: * Total Schools * Total Students * Total Budget * Average Math Score * Average Reading Score * % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.) * % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.) * % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math **and** reading.) ### School Summary * Create an overview table that summarizes key metrics about each school, including: * School Name * School Type * Total Students * Total School Budget * Per Student Budget * Average Math Score * Average Reading Score * % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.) * % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.) * % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math **and** reading.) ### Top Performing Schools (By % Overall Passing) * Create a table that highlights the top 5 performing schools based on % Overall Passing. Include: * School Name * School Type * Total Students * Total School Budget * Per Student Budget * Average Math Score * Average Reading Score * % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.) * % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.) * % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math **and** reading.) ### Bottom Performing Schools (By % Overall Passing) * Create a table that highlights the bottom 5 performing schools based on % Overall Passing. Include all of the same metrics as above. ### Math Scores by Grade\*\* * Create a table that lists the average Math Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school. ### Reading Scores by Grade * Create a table that lists the average Reading Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school. ### Scores by School Spending * Create a table that breaks down school performances based on average Spending Ranges (Per Student). Use 4 reasonable bins to group school spending. Include in the table each of the following: * Average Math Score * Average Reading Score * % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.) * % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.) * % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math **and** reading.) ### Scores by School Size * Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on a reasonable approximation of school size (Small, Medium, Large). ### Scores by School Type * Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on school type (Charter vs. District). As final considerations: * Use the pandas library and Jupyter Notebook. * You must submit a link to your Jupyter Notebook with the viewable Data Frames. * You must include a written description of at least two observable trends based on the data. * See [Example Solution](PyCitySchools/PyCitySchools_starter.ipynb) for a reference on the expected format. ## Hints and Considerations * These are challenging activities for a number of reasons. For one, these activities will require you to analyze thousands of records. Hacking through the data to look for obvious trends in Excel is just not a feasible option. The size of the data may seem daunting, but pandas will allow you to efficiently parse through it. * Second, these activities will also challenge you by requiring you to learn on your feet. Don't fool yourself into thinking: "I need to study pandas more closely before diving in." Get the basic gist of the library and then _immediately_ get to work. When facing a daunting task, it's easy to think: "I'm just not ready to tackle it yet." But that's the surest way to never succeed. Learning to program requires one to constantly tinker, experiment, and learn on the fly. You are doing exactly the _right_ thing, if you find yourself constantly practicing Google-Fu and diving into documentation. There is just no way (or reason) to try and memorize it all. Online references are available for you to use when you need them. So use them! * Take each of these tasks one at a time. Begin your work, answering the basic questions: "How do I import the data?" "How do I convert the data into a DataFrame?" "How do I build the first table?" Don't get intimidated by the number of asks. Many of them are repetitive in nature with just a few tweaks. Be persistent and creative! * Expect these exercises to take time! Don't get discouraged if you find yourself spending hours initially with little progress. Force yourself to deal with the discomfort of not knowing and forge ahead. Consider these hours an investment in your future! * As always, feel encouraged to work in groups and get help from your TAs and Instructor. Just remember, true success comes from mastery and _not_ a completed homework assignment. So challenge yourself to truly succeed! ### Copyright Trilogy Education Services © 2019. All Rights Reserved.

Project homepage ↗Part I - WeatherPy In this example, you’ll be creating a Python script to visualize the weather of 500+ cities across the world of varying distance from the equator. To accomplish this, you’ll be utilizing a simple Python library, the OpenWeatherMap API, and a little common sense to create a representative model of weather across world cities. Your first objective is to build a series of scatter plots to showcase the following relationships: Temperature (F) vs. Latitude Humidity (%) vs. Latitude Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude After each plot add a sentence or too explaining what the code is and analyzing. Your next objective is to run linear regression on each relationship, only this time separating them into Northern Hemisphere (greater than or equal to 0 degrees latitude) and Southern Hemisphere (less than 0 degrees latitude): Northern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude Southern Hemisphere - Temperature (F) vs. Latitude Northern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude Southern Hemisphere - Humidity (%) vs. Latitude Northern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude Southern Hemisphere - Cloudiness (%) vs. Latitude Northern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude Southern Hemisphere - Wind Speed (mph) vs. Latitude After each pair of plots explain what the linear regression is modelling such as any relationships you notice and any other analysis you may have. Your final notebook must: Randomly select at least 500 unique (non-repeat) cities based on latitude and longitude. Perform a weather check on each of the cities using a series of successive API calls. Include a print log of each city as it’s being processed with the city number and city name. Save a CSV of all retrieved data and a PNG image for each scatter plot. Part II - VacationPy Now let’s use your skills in working with weather data to plan future vacations. Use jupyter-gmaps and the Google Places API for this part of the assignment. Note: if you having trouble displaying the maps try running jupyter nbextension enable --py gmaps in your environment and retry. Create a heat map that displays the humidity for every city from the part I of the homework. heatmap Narrow down the DataFrame to find your ideal weather condition. For example: A max temperature lower than 80 degrees but higher than 70. Wind speed less than 10 mph. Zero cloudiness. Drop any rows that don’t contain all three conditions. You want to be sure the weather is ideal. Note: Feel free to adjust to your specifications but be sure to limit the number of rows returned by your API requests to a reasonable number. Using Google Places API to find the first hotel for each city located within 5000 meters of your coordinates. Plot the hotels on top of the humidity heatmap with each pin containing the Hotel Name, City, and Country. hotel map As final considerations: Create a new GitHub repository for this project called API-Challenge (note the kebab-case). Do not add to an existing repo You must complete your analysis using a Jupyter notebook. You must use the Matplotlib or Pandas plotting libraries. For Part I, you must include a written description of three observable trends based on the data. You must use proper labeling of your plots, including aspects like: Plot Titles (with date of analysis) and Axes Labels. For max intensity in the heat map, try setting it to the highest humidity found in the data set. Hints and Considerations The city data you generate is based on random coordinates as well as different query times; as such, your outputs will not be an exact match to the provided starter notebook. You may want to start this assignment by refreshing yourself on the geographic coordinate system. Next, spend the requisite time necessary to study the OpenWeatherMap API. Based on your initial study, you should be able to answer basic questions about the API: Where do you request the API key? Which Weather API in particular will you need? What URL endpoints does it expect? What JSON structure does it respond with? Before you write a line of code, you should be aiming to have a crystal clear understanding of your intended outcome. A starter code for Citipy has been provided. However, if you’re craving an extra challenge, push yourself to learn how it works: citipy Python library. Before you try to incorporate the library into your analysis, start by creating simple test cases outside your main script to confirm that you are using it correctly. Too often, when introduced to a new library, students get bogged down by the most minor of errors – spending hours investigating their entire code – when, in fact, a simple and focused test would have shown their basic utilization of the library was wrong from the start. Don’t let this be you! Part of our expectation in this challenge is that you will use critical thinking skills to understand how and why we’re recommending the tools we are. What is Citipy for? Why would you use it in conjunction with the OpenWeatherMap API? How would you do so? In building your script, pay attention to the cities you are using in your query pool. Are you getting coverage of the full gamut of latitudes and longitudes? Or are you simply choosing 500 cities concentrated in one region of the world? Even if you were a geographic genius, simply rattling 500 cities based on your human selection would create a biased dataset. Be thinking of how you should counter this. (Hint: Consider the full range of latitudes). Once you have computed the linear regression for one chart, the process will be similar for all others. As a bonus, try to create a function that will create these charts based on different parameters. Remember that each coordinate will trigger a separate call to the Google API. If you’re creating your own criteria to plan your vacation, try to reduce the results in your DataFrame to 10 or fewer cities. Lastly, remember – this is a challenging activity. Push yourself! If you complete this task, then you can safely say that you’ve gained a strong mastery of the core foundations of data analytics and it will only go better from here. Good luck!
