Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance the efficiency and maintainability of data processing scripts and Jupyter notebooks used in economic network analysis.

Key Activities

  • Revised a prompt for Jupyter Notebook analysis focusing on code functionality and integration.
  • Proposed a restructuring plan for economic network analysis notebooks to improve modularity and coherence.
  • Refactored Python code for data processing using Dask and Pandas, improving readability and maintainability.
  • Streamlined degree distribution plots notebook using Pandas and Matplotlib for clarity and efficiency.
  • Debugged and corrected Python code for plotting degree distributions, addressing runtime warnings and errors.
  • Improved the structure of a data preparation script for better modularization and organization.
  • Explored efficient line counting techniques in Python and Bash for large file processing.

Achievements

  • Successfully refactored and optimized multiple data processing scripts and notebooks.
  • Enhanced code readability, maintainability, and efficiency across several projects.
  • Resolved issues in data visualization scripts, ensuring proper functionality.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the refactored scripts and notebooks are required to ensure robustness in different scenarios.
  • Additional documentation and comments may be needed for some of the newly structured scripts.
