COVID_project

This repo contains the files for the Grduate Project for DATA 200 at Berkeley.

• /analysis contains all jupyter notebooks used for data processing, modeling, and analysis.
  • files named initial_* are uncleaned initial data exploration
  • a subfolder /analysis_figures contains any photos included in the analysis notebooks
• /data contains all initial and processed data
• /figures contains all figures created in the analysis notebooks that were saved for the report (plt.savefig was used to save them)
• /narrative contains the .tex files used to compile the report, along with report.pdf which is the final write up

Since some notebooks process data and then save the output to be used in other notebooks, the data processing pipeline is included below to enable replicaton:

1. covid_data_processing.ipynb, vaccine_data_processing.ipynb, and weather_data_processing.ipynb read and process the initial data
2. data_merge_and_eda.ipynb combines the data outputed from the above and performs some exploratory data analaysis
3. baseline_modeling.ipynb, weather_modeling.ipynb and death_rate_models.ipynb perform the data analysis describe in the report using the aggregated data from the previous step
