Is the United States becoming more conservative or more liberal? Are we getting more polarized? And how do these political alignments related to other opinions and attitudes?
In this tutorial, we apply the tools of exploratory data analysis to these questions, using data from the General Social Survey.
Participants will learn to use Pandas to read and analyze data, Matplotlib to visualize the results, and Jupyter to develop and test software interactively.
Participants should know basic Python, but no previous knowledge of Pandas or Matplotlib is required. No knowledge of statistics is required.
