LyftData.csv
Contains all data that I've collected from driving with Lyft. This file is an export of a Google Spreadsheet I add to after each ride. More detailed description coming soon.
CleanLyftData.csv
Cleansed Lyft Data, ready to analyze.
CleanData.R
Quick script to clean up the raw data for analysis.
Uses LyftData.csv to create CleanLyftData.csv.
Exploration.Rmd
Break down the data into an interpretable and insightful collection of metrics and visualizations. The ultimate goal here is figure out what might maximize my driving earnings.
random_assignments.R
We must sample the driving space somehow, and the most controllable independent variables are day of week and time of day that I go drive. This script offers randomly selected times in the week to go drive. Ideally, this will prevent me from making implicit judgements about what might be a good time to go drive (these judgements aren't properly defined so it's hard to justify them as priors).
