Working with univariate data

snake

• Use the game of snake (no, not that snake) to generate data for analysis
• Write functions to calculate the mean, mode and media

snake meets pandas

• Use pandas to visualise and analyse

exploring height data

• Use pandas to interrogate a simple data set
• Use the quantile function to find and interpret percentiles, deciles &c

state troopers

• Data from this task

some random numbers

• Two sets of random data with suspiciously similar summary statistics, including the IQR. Use pandas df.hist() to see how different the distributions are. Why was it so easy to fool the IQR? What can we do about it?

temperature

• Dealing with badly presented data
• Measuring unusualness

To do

• Write functions to represent different snake strategies so we can evaluate them
