Data Preparation: Guide

This folder is for any Python scripts or notebooks you use to clean & prepare your datasets. These files should:

  1. Read in datasets from 0_datasets
  2. Clean, reformat, or otherwise process the datasets for later.
  3. Write the processed dataset into 0_datasets with a helpful file name.

DO NOT modify an existing dataset in 0_datasets! Instead, save your processed data to a new file. This is critical to open research: Someone should be able to clone this repository and run your scripts to replicate your research. If you modify an original dataset, others cannot replicate your work.

README.md

Use this folder's README to give a quick summary of each script/notebook - which dataset(s) does it process and how? which datasets does it create and save to /1_datasets?.
