Description

Whether you are working with customer data or tracking election polls, Pandas and StatsModels provide powerful tools for getting insights from survey data. In this tutorial, we'll start with the basics and work up to age-period-cohort analysis and logistic regression. As examples, we'll use data from the General Social Survey to see how political beliefs have changed over the last 50 years in the United States. We'll follow the essential steps of a data science project, from loading and validating data, exploring and visualizing, modeling and predicting, and communicating results.
