This project showcases the non-technical but critical skills required for a successful Data Analyst role:
- Problem Translation: Successfully translated a high-level business goal into a specific, answerable analytical question.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Defined the audience (The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission) and established a clear set of project deliverables.
- Task Classification: Demonstrated knowledge of the entire data science lifecycle by classifying complex technical tasks—such as 'Build a regression model' and 'Data exploration and cleaning'—into the appropriate PACE stages (Construct, Analyze, etc.).
- Risk Mitigation: Addressed initial planning questions related to reducing bias, meeting timelines, and model evaluation metrics.
