PrintSummary of Project 2 Deliverables
To give you an idea of the work that will be required for this project, here is a summary of the minimum items you will create for Project 2.
- Create necessary maps, graphics, or tables of the data. Include in your written report any and all maps, graphics, and tables that are needed to support your analysis.
- The analysis should help you present the spatial patterns of crime types across the city as well as what evidence exists showing any temporal trend in crime overall and for individual crime types.
Note that this summary does not supersede elements requested in the main text of this project (refer back to those for full details). Also, you should include discussions of issues important to the lesson material in your write-up, even if they are not explicitly mentioned here.
Use the questions below to organize the narrative that you craft about your analysis.
- Discuss Overall Findings
- What types of crime were recorded in the city?
- Was there a temporal element associated with each of the crimes? If so, then were there any considerations about the temporal element in your analysis.
- How did crimes changes between the years?
- Where did crimes take place? Was there a particular spatial distribution associated with each of the crimes? Did they take place in a particular part of the city?
- What additional types of analysis would be useful?
- Visualizing the Data
- Map the data: Explain the spatial distribution of crimes?
- Create some graphs:
- Of the crimes in the dataset, is there a crime that occurs more than others?
- Is there a month when crimes occur more than others?
- Have crimes increased or decreased over time?
- Descriptive Statistics
- What type of statistical distribution does your data have?
- What is the typical value in this dataset?
- How widely do values in the dataset vary?
- Are there any unusually high or low value in this dataset?
Please upload your write-up (in Word or PDF format) in the Project 2 Drop Box.
That's it for Project 2!
