Assignment 3_DMV: Making Data Management Decisions
Week 3 assignment involves making data management decisions for the variables chosen to answer my research questions. These data management decisions include removing invalid data, selecting subset working dataset or representative sample, creating secondary variables and binning or grouping continuous variables.There are 384,343 craters in the original Mars database. On inspection, I discovered that 10 […]
Assignment 2_DMV: Running Your First Program
