Ninth Week – November 6th

This week, I attended the class meeting on Wednesday, where myself and Professor Davis again briefly discussed the difficulty I had been having with opening the large data sets. I have not been able to make much progress with that, and am still not able to get the datasets opened in Excel or Sheets; I have not yet attempted opening them in R, Python, or in Tableau, which I am planning to attempt in the coming week. Professor Davis also said he would also attempt to try opening them in an analytic software, since he had not had the chance to so far; hopefully by the time of our class next Wednesday, one of us will have had some luck in opening the files, otherwise I’ll probably just end up using the Prey Length dataset (which, as I said before, would still offer a variety of different options).
