This is a training course aimed at showing you how to use visualisation and transformation to explore your data in a systematic way, a task called exploratory data analysis, or EDA for short.
In this workshop we’re using Google Colab to modify and run Python code provided in a Jupyter notebook to illustrate the concepts of EDA. You will require a Google account to access Colab.
