📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The aim of this session was to optimize Python code for data loading and regression analysis, as well as to develop flexible data aggregation functions.

Key Activities

  • Implemented an optimized version of Python code for loading datasets, including project information, violence levels, and covariates.
  • Conducted regression analysis with improved data handling and merging techniques.
  • Developed a Python function for aggregating pandas DataFrames with customizable grouping and operations (sum or mean).
  • Enhanced the groupby_aggregate function to accept custom aggregation functions for flexible data analysis.

Achievements

  • Successfully optimized data loading and regression code, resulting in cleaner and more efficient data processing.
  • Created flexible data aggregation functions to support diverse analytical needs.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the optimized code and aggregation functions to ensure robustness and accuracy in various scenarios.
