Assignment: Halloween Candy
Name:
Overview
In this assignment, your job will be to clean and wrangle data from a survey of Halloween candy to prepare it for a machine learning project.
Once you have completed all the tasks in the notebook, save your notebook as halloween_candy, and verify that all the tests pass in CodeGrade.
For those of you that are more comfortable with using Pandas, I have also provided extra optional data analysis questions at the end of the assignment for more practice.
Data Set
The data set that we will be using is the 2017 Halloween Candy Hierarchy data set as discussed in this boingboing article. You can also read more about the data in the Science Creative Quarterly.
The following are the rating instructions from the survey:
Basically, consider that feeling you get when you receive this item in your Halloween haul. Does it make you really happy (JOY)? Or is it something that you automatically place in the junk pile (DESPAIR)? MEH for indifference, and you can leave blank if you have no idea what the item is.Note that the original data set has been slightly altered from its original state, and if you wanted to perform any analysis for future projects, you would need to download the data directly from the links above.
This data is a great example of a messy data set, especially since they allowed respondents to enter text for a number of the fields. Also, note that some of the comments in the file might be considered inappropriate to some readers but cleaning this type of data is normal in a lot of data science projects.
Note
Show Work
Remember that you must show your work. Students submissions are spot checked manually throughout the term to verify that they are not hard coding the answer from looking only in the file or in CodeGrade’s expected output. If this is seen, the student’s answer will be manually marked wrong and their grade will be changed to reflect this.
For example, if the answer to Q1, the mean of a specific column, is 22:
# correct way
Q1 = df['column_name'].mean()
# incorrect way
Q1 = 22
Our End Goal
Our end goal for this project is to clean the data so that we could then create a machine learning model. We want to see if we are able to predict a person’s gender based purely on their candy preferences. Although, you will not be creating a model for this assignment, only cleaning the data. The results of the models that I used after cleaning the data are provided at the end of this notebook.
Initial Import & Exploration
In [18]:
# initial importsimport pandas as pdimport numpy as np# Do not change this option; This allows the CodeGrade auto grading to function correctlypd.set_option(‘display.max_columns’, 20)Let’s start by importing our data and creating a DataFrame called candy. We need to include encoding=’iso-8859-1′ during the import because there are special characters in the data that Pandas doesn’t recognize. This happens a lot when attempting to import data where the public is able to input answers, especially if there are foreign language characters included. The normal encoding for Pandas is utf-8, so changing the encoding allows Pandas to recognize those special characters.
Run the following code, with the encoding argument, and it should import correctly.
In [19]:
# read_csv with iso-8859-1 encoding; using latin-1 would also work herecandy_full = pd.read_csv(‘candy.csv’, encoding=‘iso-8859-1’)# copy to new DF so that we can have a copy of the original import if neededcandy = candy_full.copy()Let’s take a brief look at the data by using head().

5 rows × 120 columns
Next, run the following code to see information about the DataFrame.
In [21]:
# check info about the DataFramecandy.info()
RangeIndex: 2479 entries, 0 to 2478
Columns: 120 entries, Internal ID to Click Coordinates (x, y)
dtypes: float64(4), int64(1), object(115)
memory usage: 2.3+ MB
Notice that this did not print the columns as you might be used to seeing. According to the Pandas documentation: “If the DataFrame has more than max_cols columns, the truncated output is used. By default, the setting in pandas.options.display.max_info_columns is used.”
We can make the columns display by setting the max_cols argument equal to the number of columns in the data set.

This data set is pretty messy. Your goal is now to perform the following actions to get it to the point where it can be passed to a machine learning model.
Note: Unless the instructions ask you to do something different, please always update the original candy DataFrame for the exercises below. The automatic grading in CodeGrade will check your final DataFrame and ensure that you have performed all required data manipulations. Also, feel free to add additional cells as needed.
Data Cleaning
Exercise1: Taking a look at the column names, you may notice that some include the character Õ. This should instead be an apostrophe ‘ mark. Rename the column names that include the Õ character and replace it with an apostrophe.
Remember that you should be updating the candy DataFrame for the tasks listed as unless told differently.
In [24]:
candy_columns=candy.replace(‘Õ’, “‘”, inplace=True)candy_columnsQ1: How many duplicated rows are there in the file? Assume that a duplicate is any row that is exactly the same as another one. Save this number as Q1.
In [25]:
Q1= candy.duplicated(keep=False).sum()Q1Out[25]:
34Q2: How many duplicated rows are there in the file if we were to assume that a duplicate is any row with the same Internal ID number as another. In other words, even if the other values are different, a row would count as a duplicate if it had the same Internal ID as another. Save this number as Q2.
In [26]:
Q2= candy[‘Internal ID’].duplicated(keep=False).sum()Q2Out[26]:

Exercise5: Using the candy DataFrame, remove all rows with a missing value in the Q2: GENDER column. (This should overwrite and be saved as candy like you have been doing for the previous exercises.)
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise6: For this project, we want to use binary classification, which predicts one of two classes. We want to predict between Male or Female. Because of this, select only the rows that contain either Male or Female in the Q2: GENDER column.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: As a check for the above exercises, the shape of your data should now be: (2305, 113)
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Now, let’s work on filling some of the missing data. There are easier ways to do this with the sklearn library which you will learn about more in the machine learning classes, but for now, let’s try to practice our Pandas skills.
Q4: How many missing values are in the Q1: GOING OUT? column? Save this number as Q4.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise7: For a future analysis question, we are interested in those that we know will definitely go out for Halloween. Because of this, fill all missing values in the Q1: GOING OUT? column with a No value.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: Double check your above work and look at the value counts for the Q1: GOING OUT? column. Make sure that you only have “Yes” and No” values and that they add up to 2305, which is the number of rows you should have at this step in the assignment.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise8: To get ready for the next step, let’s practice selecting all the columns: going from Q6 | 100 Grand Bar to Q11: DAY. Save this slice as candy_slice.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise9: Now that you know how to slice the data, fill any missing values in the candy DataFrame for those columns (going from Q6 | 100 Grand Bar to Q11: DAY) with the string NO_ANSWER. Make sure you are working with the candy DataFrame and not the candy_slice DataFrame.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise10: For all four Q12: Media columns in the candy DataFrame, fill the missing values with 0.0.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: As a check for the above code, make sure that there are no missing values left for the Q6 to Q12 columns.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Now, let’s look at the very messy Q4: COUNTRY column and see what we can do about it. First, run the code below to look at the different unique values in the data.
In [ ]:
# check unique valuescandy[‘Q4: COUNTRY’].unique()Code Check: As a check for the Country column, check to see how many unique values are in the data. You should have 115 different unique values for the Q4: COUNTRY column. If you have less or more than this number, double check your work above.

# check the Q4: COUNTRY number of unique valuescandy[‘Q4: COUNTRY’].nunique()We want to clean up this data to only include four areas: USA, Canada, Europe (the continent, not necessarily the European Union), and Other.
There are different ways to do this, but I would suggest that you look at the way we handled the property_type column in the vienna data set and the code in the amenities_to_columns() function in the module notebook. These might be a little harder than those examples but they should give you a good baseline approach.
You could use replace() for this step, and it is fine if you ultimately decide to do this, but I would suggest that you come up with a solution similar to what was shown in the vienna data cleaning notebook. This method would be much more robust if you had many more values in your data.
I suggest the following order for this section to make it easier:
Fill in all missing values with Other
Code Australia as Other (doing this step will help when trying to use us in the next step if you use string methods)
Combine all USA entries together as USA
Combine Canadian entries as CA
Combine European entries as EU
Everything else gets coded as Other
Exercise11: Fill the missing values in the Q4: COUNTRY column with Other.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: Double check that there are no missing values in the Q4: COUNTRY column. Also, double check the unique values to make sure that “Other” was added. This should mean that you now have 116 unique values for this column.

# check missing Q4 values### ENTER CODE HERE ###In [ ]:
# check unique values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise12: Combine all Australia entries into Other. Watch out for capitalization issues. You should have 114 unique values after this step.

# check number of unique values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise13: Combine all United States entries together into USA. These would include the following:
'USA ', 'USA', 'us', 'usa', 'Us', 'US', 'Murica', 'United States', 'united states', 'Usa', 'United States ', 'United staes', 'United States of America', 'United states', 'u.s.a.', 'United States of America ', 'america', 'U.S.A.', 'unhinged states', 'united states of america', 'US of A', 'The United States', 'North Carolina ', 'Unied States', 'U S', 'u.s.', 'The United States of America', 'unite states','U.S.', 'USA? Hard to tell anymore..', "'merica", 'United State', 'United Sates', 'California', 'Unites States', 'USa', 'I pretend to be from Canada, but I am really from the United States.', 'Usa ', 'United Stated', 'New Jersey', 'United ststes', 'America', 'United Statss', 'murrika', 'USA! USA! USA!', 'USAA', 'united States ', 'N. America', 'USSA', 'U.S. ', 'u s a', 'United Statea', 'united ststes', 'USA USA USA!!!!'
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: You should be merging the above values together into 1 (USA) and be left with 61 unique values after this step (including the USA value).
In [ ]:
# check unique values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise14: Combine the Canadian entries (both upper and lower case) and label them as CA. Be careful as there are extra spaces, characters, and misspellings (Can, Canae).
These values include:
'canada', 'Canada', 'canada ', 'Canada ', 'Can', 'Canae', 'Canada`', 'CANADA'
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: You should be merging 8 values together into 1 (CA) and be left with 54 unique values after this step (including the CA value).
In [ ]:
# check unique values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise15: Combine the European entries and label them as EU. Again, we are looking at the continent of Europe and not necessarily the countries that are a part of the European Union.
These values include:
'uk', 'United Kingdom', 'England', 'UK', 'france', 'finland', 'Netherlands', 'germany', 'Europe', 'U.K. ', 'Greece', 'France', 'Ireland', 'Uk', 'Germany', 'Scotland', 'UK ', 'Denmark', 'France ', 'Switzerland', 'Scotland ', 'The Netherlands', 'Ireland ', 'spain', 'Sweden', 'United kingdom'
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: You should be merging 26 entries together and be left with 29 unique values after this step (including the EU value).
In [ ]:
# check unique values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise16: Finally, combine the other entries and label them as Other.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: Double check that you only have four unique values in the Q4: COUNTRY column: USA, Other, CA, and EU
In [ ]:
# check values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Q5: To double check that everything was coded correctly, save the value counts of the Q4: COUNTRY column as Q5. You can check this once you run your CodeGrade check.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###We now want to look at the Q3: AGE column. Let’s look at all the unique values.
In [ ]:
# check unique age values### ENTER CODE HERE ###Again, this is a pretty messy column of data. This is a good example of why those that create online surveys shouldn’t allow the individual to just put any value into the field. But it is now our job to clean this up.
Exercise17: Your task is to put these values into the following categorical bins: unknown, 17 and under, 18-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, and 56+.
The category labels should exactly match the above.
Missing values should be replaced with the unknown category
To make things easier and avoid ambiguity, let’s say that any value with text, even if we could determine the age, will be binned with the unknown category. For example: sixty-nine should be coded as unknown, 45-55 should be coded as unknown, 59 on the day after Halloween should be coded as unknown, etc.
Ensure that the category labels are unordered but reorder the categories so that ‘unknown’ is listed in the first position. This is not really needed but will help us grade your assignment. The categories should be listed as follows: Index([‘unknown’, ’17 and under’, ’18-25′, ’26-35′, ’36-45′, ’46-55′, ’56+’], dtype=’object’)
First, we will replace any non-numeric value (those with text as mentioned above) with a missing value. This will allow you to turn the other values into floats so that you can bin them. Just don’t forget to code the missing values as unknown when you are done. To replace the non-numeric values, run the following code:
In [ ]:
# create True/False indexage_index = candy[‘Q3: AGE’].str.isnumeric()# for the index, fill missing values with Falseage_index = age_index.fillna(False)# select Age column for only those False values from index and code as missingcandy.loc[~age_index, ‘Q3: AGE’] = np.nanIn [ ]:
### ENTER REST OF CODE HERE ###Exercise18: Double check yourself by checking the categories for the Q3: AGE column. It should output: Index([‘unknown’, ’17 and under’, ’18-25′, ’26-35′, ’36-45′, ’46-55′, ’56+’], dtype=’object’)
In [ ]:
# double check categories### ENTER CODE HERE ###Code Check: To double check your above binning worked correctly, your value counts (sorted by the index) should be as follows:
unknown: 60
17 and under: 49
18-25: 85
26-35: 520
36-45: 768
46-55: 525
56+: 298
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###You can also double check some of your work up to this point by making sure that there are no missing values in the data set anymore.
Code Check: Check to see if there are any missing values in the data set. Your output should show 0.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise19: Before you move on to the next section, reset the index for candy ensuring that it goes from 0 to n-1.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Feature Engineering
Feature engineering is the process of transforming raw data into features that better represent the underlying problem to the predictive models. In this section, we will create a new column called “net_feelies” (calculated by the authors as the total joy count minus the total despair count).
First, let’s narrow down our data to make working with it easier.
Exercise20: Select only the Q6 candy columns (Q6 | 100 Grand Bar through Q6 | York Peppermint Patties) in the data set and save this as a new DataFrame called candy_reduced.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Next, we will create two Series, one with JOY counts and one with DESPAIR counts to add to our candy_reduced data.
Exercise21: Create a Series called joy_count that lists total counts for JOY for each column, making sure to keep it in the same order as the columns in the candy_reduced DataFrame. Hint: A simple way to do this is to filter the entire DataFrame for any JOY values and then use count(). See this stackoverflow question and answers.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise22: Same as above except you will create a Series called despair_count that lists the total counts for DESPAIR for each column.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise23: Take the transpose of the candy_reduced DataFrame and save this transposed data as candy_reduced_transpose.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise24: Add a new column called “joy_count” using the joy_count Series above and a new column called ‘despair_count” using the despair_count Series above to the candy_reduced_transpose DataFrame.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise25: Add a new column to the candy_reduced_transpose DataFrame called “net_feelies” that takes the joy_count column and subtracts the despair_count column.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise26: Select only the joy_count, despair_count, and net_feelies columns from the candy_reduced_transpose DataFrame. Sort this DataFrame in descending order by net_feelies and save this as candy_net_sorted.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Encoding
We now want to get the candy DataFrame ready to run a machine learning algorthim to determine if we could predict a person’s gender based on what candy they prefer.
You will learn more about this in the machine learning classes, but some algorithms work exclusively with numeric values. We will now turn all of our values into numeric values. There are easier ways to do this with sklearn, which you will study in later courses, but we will use Pandas to perform these exercises for further practice.
Exercise27: For grading purposes, we want to leave the candy DataFrame as is. Make a copy of the candy DataFrame and save this new DataFrame as candy_encode.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise28: For the candy_encode DataFrame, replace any Female values with 0 and any Male values with 1.
In [ ]:
### ENTER CODE HERE ###Exercise29: Again, you will learn more about this later, but we need to separate the column that we want to predict (called the response) and the columns that we will use to make the predictions (called the features). For both of the items below, make sure that the index is reset and goes from 0 to n-1.
Select only the Q2: GENDER column from candy_encode and save this as candy_response. Note: This should be a Series.
Drop the following column

very simple task…I need to answer 1 question from the database “.db” file that I provided. Use python. show the code and also the output. I need source code and also the output for the question. please use sqlite3 library and python. question: What ride (note that not all attractions are rides) has the second longest average visit time? It has to be a name of the ride.
Additional Information:
The information contained in each of these tables is listed below:
checkin: – The check-in data for all visitors for the day in the park. The data includes two types of check-ins: inferred and actual checkins.
– Fields: visitorID, timestamp, attraction, duration, type
attraction: – The attractions in the park by their corresponding AttractionID, Name, Region, Category, and type. Regions are from the VAST Challenge map such as Coaster Alley, Tundra Land, etc. Categories include Thrill rides, Kiddie Rides, etc. Type is broken into Outdoor Coaster, Other Ride, Carousel, etc.
– Fields: AttractionID, Name, Region, Category, type
sequences: – The check-in sequences of visitors. These sequences list the position of each visitor to the park every five minutes. If the visitor has not entered the part yet, the sequence has a value of 0 for that time interval. If the visitor is in the park, the sequence lists the attraction they have most recently checked in to until they check in to a new one or leave the park.
– Fields: visitorID, sequence
