1. What dataset will you use for your final report? (Title of your dataset, include a link to it)
2. Describe the dataset. What kind of data does it contain?
3. Is there anything about your data that you don’t understand? (I.e. what a column heading means) how will you find this out?
4. What are some questions you hope to answer with your data? List at least three. (You don’t need the answers at this point)
1. Animal Control Inventory (Lost and Found) https://opendata.vancouver.ca/explore/dataset/animal-control-inventory-lost-and-found/export/?disjunctive.breed&disjunctive.color&sort=date
2. This dataset contains information about lost and found animals, including their breed, colour, date of entry, name, sex, and current status (e.g., lost). Each entry seems to represent an individual animal.
3. One column that might need further clarification is the "Sex" column, which includes entries like "F/S" and "M/N." These abbreviations likely refer to whether the animal is spayed/neutered. To confirm this, I would refer to any accompanying documentation for the dataset or consult with someone familiar with animal control records.
4.
- What are the most common breeds of animals reported as lost?
- Are there specific times of the year when more animals go missing?
- What are the most common colours or patterns of animals that go missing or are found?
Hey Bahar I really like the information and data you have chosen to do this about as I love animals so being able to look at lost and found data is very intresting. Next time you should try to hyperlink a word instead of just putting the link in, I did the same mistake last time haha.
ReplyDeleteHi Bahar, you did well in explaining your Data Update 1 clearly and concisely. Next time I would consider formatting it so that it's one question then the corresponding answer rather than an entire section of questions followed by a section of answers. This will help with ease of reading. I also love that your topic choice reflects an interest in animals (I'm an animal lover too!) but I might caution you against this topic for this assignment? I recall our professor advising us not to do it on animals since there's too many inconsistencies. I took a peak into the dataset and filtered the breed column and there were a lot of results showing "???" But if you're able to continue with this, I'd love to learn about your findings! Best of luck!
