- 35. Thinking Machines Data Science Garbage in. Garbage out. Data Sanity Check
- 36. Thinking Machines Data Science Good data analysis begins with asking good questions.
- 37. Thinking Machines Data Science Where could unusual/outlier voting patterns be found? Where were voter turnout rates unusually high? Are poorer places more likely to have high voter turnout? Questions
- 38. Thinking Machines Data Science Interviewing the Data Where were voter turnout rates unusually high? Our tools: iPython Notebook, Pandas Library voter_stats[‘turnout_rate’] = voter_stats[‘voter_turnout’] / voter_stats[‘registered_voters']
- 39. Thinking Machines Data Science What’s the voter turnout rate per town? Has it always been this way? What’s normal? Has it always been this way in Luzon?… in the Visayas? … Mindanao? … in Basilan? … in Antique? … in San Juan? What’s considered high / low? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
- 40. Thinking Machines Data Science Now you have answers. What matters? Curate.
- 41. Thinking Machines Data Science Who cares? What’s useful? What’s surprising? What’s sound and truthful?
- 42. Thinking Machines Data Science Insight: There are places where voter turnout rates were almost impossibly high — a possible sign of vote padding.
- 43. Thinking Machines Data Science In some towns, for example … Town 1 124% Town 2 98.8% Town 3 98.4% 3-Election Voter Turnout Rate
