Description

Session Goal:

The session aimed to enhance Python data processing capabilities, handle specific error cases, and improve visualization techniques for electoral data analysis.

Key Activities:

  1. Handling Empty Arrays in Quantile Computation: A solution was implemented to address errors arising from computing quantiles with empty arrays by adding checks for non-empty arrays before performing calculations.
  2. Modularizing Code for Data Processing: The Python code was optimized by modularizing repeated code into functions and using loops for combinations, specifically for saving data in GeoJSON format.
  3. Análisis de Agrupaciones Electorales por Región: Developed a Python procedure to analyze electoral groupings by region and section, calculating vote percentages for elections in 2019 and 2023.
  4. Generación de Presentaciones en Markdown: Created Python scripts to generate Markdown presentations with tables of votes and percentages organized by region and section for the 2019 and 2023 elections.
  5. Visualización de Votos y Porcentajes por Sección: Implemented a Python script to visualize votes and percentages by section, filtering data to highlight unique combinations and relevant information.

Achievements:

  • Successfully handled errors related to empty arrays in quantile calculations.
  • Improved code structure and efficiency through modularization.
  • Developed comprehensive data analysis and visualization tools for electoral data.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further testing and validation of the visualization scripts to ensure accuracy and reliability.
  • Exploration of additional data sets for broader analysis.
