DataDojo@Lunch
This time we try something new: we’ll meet at 12pm for just 1 hour. This way you can have your lunch while attending the Dojo (we are taking turns coding as usual). This is an experiment to see if this format better fits the tight schedules of the participants.

Dataset
Local results of the German Federal Election from Würzburg (Stadt and Landkreis) together with demographic information (e.g. age structure): Stadt, Landkreis
Specific task for today
- Select Stadt or Land voting data
- Bring into the tidy format:
| Place | Party | Erststimmen | Zweitstimmen |
|---|---|---|---|
| bla | blub | 0.23 | 0.12 |
- Add a column
Mean Ageto that table
When you are done, feel free to do the same for Stadt/Land (whichever you did not select first) or start exploring some of the interesting questions (for inspiration, see below).
Question Pool:
- Generic
- What kind of information is stored in the table(s)?
- How much data is missing?
- Is the dataset clean or are there any clear outliers?
- How can the different datasets be combined?
- How to visualize the results in a suitable way?
- Specific
- Overview of voting behavior: how does voting behavior vary by location? (General trends, total variability, …)
- Overview of demographic info: how does age/gender distribution vary by location? (General trends, total variability, …)
- Which party has the strongest (positive/negative) correlation with age?
- Which party has the strongest (positive/negative) correlation with gender?
- Can we predict voting behavior from age/gender distribution? (or vice-versa)
- Add your own questions
- Further Ideas
- Show results with district resolution on an interactive map (e.g using these shapes)
- Add your own ideas
Collaborative Tools and Workflow
For Notebooks (R, python, julia, js, …) with real time collaboration CoCalc seems to be the best option right now. It worked great the last couple of times so we’ll stick to it for now. You need to register an account there (it is free).
