Modifying a dataset

Looking over the data variables available in your notes, you should be able to get a sense of what information is available in each data entry and what information might be useful to you. Once you have observed the contents of a dataset, modification of the data is naturally what comes next. Here are some examples of changes that you might make:

  • Extracting particular data variables
  • Merging data sources
  • Converting between formats
  • Restructuring the data
  • Removing outliers
  • Correcting errors

In this exercise, I'm just going to extract some data variables from the original dataset, specifically the following:

  • address
  • created_at
  • description
  • lng
  • lat
  • rating
