Case Study: Yukon Government Awarded Contracts Analysis
Part 03
Cleaning & Transforming the Data
Data is not always clean. Verifying the integrity and quality of the data you will use in your analysis is essential!
Concepts:
Data Privacy
This principle ensures that personal or sensitive information within the data is protected according to regulations.
Data Integrity
Refers to the accuracy and consistency of the data throughout its lifecycle. It ensures that the information hasn’t been corrupted or altered during collection, storage, or processing, such as missing entries, inconsistencies in dates, or typos.
Data Quality
This encompasses the overall suitability of the data for its intended purpose. High-quality data is accurate, complete, consistent, and relevant to the specific analysis.
Why is Data Cleaning Crucial?
Dirty data can significantly impact your analysis, leading to:
Misleading Results
Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to skewed conclusions and unreliable insights.
Wasted Time & Resources
Analyzing flawed data is a waste of effort. Cleaning the data upfront saves time and resources in the long run.
Poor Decision-Making
Businesses and organizations rely on data to make informed decisions. Unreliable data can lead to poor choices with negative consequences.
Our Data Cleaning Toolkit
In this case study, we’ll be using two powerful tools:
Python (pandas library)
A popular programming language with the pandas library specifically designed for data manipulation and cleaning. It allows us to identify and address issues like missing values, inconsistencies, and incorrect data types.
Power Query Editor (Power BI)
A visual tool within Microsoft Power BI that provides a user-friendly data cleaning and transformation interface.
