NOTEBOOK
Load a table, inspect its structure, and move into a clean Python notebook. Your file stays in your browser during preview; it is not uploaded to the course site.
02 / INSPECT
A clean first pass
The starter notebook inventories columns, missing values, types, duplicates, date candidates, numeric distributions, and a compact set of charts. Replace the example filename—or upload directly inside Colab.
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
csv_path = Path("your-file.csv")
df = pd.read_csv(csv_path)
print(df.shape)
display(df.head())
display(df.describe(include="all").T)NEXT: TELL THE INSTRUCTOR WHICH VARIABLES AND HISTORICAL QUESTION TO LOAD.
