Challenge background
Recently, there has been a surge of inflation in Pakistan. This has had a series of adverse effects on the livelihood and economy of the people. The purpose of this project is to gather and search for data from various sources and perform an Exploratory Data Analysis and understand the trend in the rising prices over the years. We will also build a potential web scraper to extract this information if it is needed. We will further explore the process of building effective and interactive data visualisations to display the data. We will build and deploy an interactive dashboard to display the results.
The problem
Recently, there has been a surge of inflation in Pakistan. This has had a series of adverse effects on the livelihood and economy of the people. The purpose of this project is to gather and search for data from various sources and perform an Exploratory Data Analysis and understand the trend in the rising prices over the years.
We will also build a potential web scraper to extract this information if it is needed. We will further explore the process of building effective and interactive data visualizations to display the data. We will build and deploy an interactive dashboard to display the results.
We need to gather relevant data related to the project. We will analyze the trends in the data. This project aims to tackle the issue of scarcity of relevant data related to this issue and aims to research and build interactive visualizations.
Goal of the project
1. Using various visuals, analyze the trends in food prices and crime rate. 2. Work with databases and build a web scraper if needed to extract relevant data. 3. Build and deploy an interactive dashboard. 4. Building rest APIs and an interactive web app to display the results.
