Day 1 of 1
Importing Data
Objective: Read text files that contain a mixture of data types, delimiters, and headers.
- Import a mixture of data types from arbitrarily formatted text files
- Import only required columns of data from a text file
- Import and merge data from multiple files
Processing Data
Objective: Process raw imported data by extracting, manipulating, aggregating, and counting portions of data.
- Process data with missing elements
- Create and modify categorical arrays
- Aggregate, bin, and count groups of data
Customizing Visualizations
Objective: Annotate and modify standard plots to produce informative customized graphics.
- Determine properties of graphics objects and their associated values
- Locate and manipulate graphics objects
- Customize plots by modifying properties of graphics objects
- Interpolate irregularly spaced three-dimensional data
- Visualize three-dimensional data in two and three dimensions
Working with Irregular Data
Objective: Import and visualize scattered data from text files with irregular formatting.
- Parse text files to determine formatting
- Import data from separate sections of a text file
- Extract data from container variables
- Perform calculations on time series data
