⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to develop and refine Python scripts for efficient file handling and data manipulation, with a focus on automation tasks and geospatial data processing.

Key Activities

  • Python Imports: Identified and listed essential Python modules for file handling and data manipulation.
  • Directory Management: Implemented code to list and sort file paths within a directory using Python.
  • File Reading: Demonstrated methods to read contents from Markdown files, focusing on text extraction and initial data processing.
  • Geospatial Data Checks: Developed a script to identify CRS and EPSG mentions in Markdown files, crucial for geospatial data processing.
  • Documentation and Planning: Outlined pending tasks for geo integration methods documentation, including CRS details and data source paths.
  • Canonical Details: Extracted and documented canonical CRS and data paths for geospatial integration from existing notebooks.
  • Linear Regression Toolkit: Explored a toolkit for simple linear regression in poverty analysis, including model fitting and diagnostics.
  • Extrapolation Method: Consolidated MDX for extrapolation methods, ensuring robust error handling and parameter integration.
  • Temporal Methods: Structured MDX page for quarterly alignment and seasonal decomposition methods.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed and documented Python scripts for file handling and geospatial data processing.
  • Completed initial documentation for geo integration methods.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the geo integration methods documentation with additional details on IDFRAC formatting and source paths.
