📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to analyze and enhance the data workflows within Jupyter notebooks, focusing on empirical data analysis, file management, and workflow structuring.

Key Activities

• Empirical Analysis: Reviewed the use of ‘empirical’ in Jupyter notebooks to understand its role in statistical analysis and visualization.
• Bash Commands: Explored the use of ls -l and file modification commands to manage and analyze files based on modification times.
• File Modification Analysis: Conducted a reflective analysis on work patterns by examining file modification times and filenames.
• Directory Structuring: Proposed a structured directory organization to improve project file management.
• Jupyter Workflow Analysis: Utilized grep commands to analyze data workflows in Jupyter notebooks, excluding checkpoint files for clarity.
• Data Processing Workflow: Outlined high-level workflows for data processing in Python notebooks, including data import, analysis, and export.
• Data Export Methods: Summarized common data export and plot saving methods in Jupyter notebooks.
• Proposed Workflow Structure: Suggested a general workflow structure for data projects using Graphviz dot language.

Achievements

• Clarified the role of empirical analysis in data workflows.
• Improved understanding of file management using Bash commands.
• Developed a structured directory plan for project files.
• Enhanced data workflow analysis through targeted grep commands.

Pending Tasks

• Implement the proposed directory structure in active projects.
• Test the new workflow structure in a pilot project to assess its effectiveness.
