GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Bachelor of Engineering
Subject Code: 3161613
Semester – VI
Subject Name: Data Analysis and Visualization

Type of course: Elective

Prerequisite: NA

Rationale: Data Analytics involves data discovery that helps in making smart decisions, creating
suggestions for options based on previous choices. Data visualization sees the pattern in data and also sees
the pattern when data is not part of pattern.

List of Practical:
1. Prepare synthetic data set for student data, consisting of Enrollment number, name, gender,
semester wise, subject wise marks, difficulty level of the subject, SPI(Semester Index) , address
with geographical location.
a.
(i) Write a program to find correlation between gender and Semester marks.
(ii) Write a program to find correlation between geographical location and semester marks.
Analyze which two are highly correlated.

b. Write a program to calculate correlation between difficulty level and subject marks. The higher
the difficulty level the marks should be less. The two should be negatively correlated.
Analyze the correlation.

2. Consider the sample of 50 students. Gather the university exam score of the students across all
semesters of Engineering for one college. Write a program to find out mean and standard deviation
for this college. Now consider the sample of students of different colleges of Gujarat for university
exam score. Write a program to find out mean and standard deviation. Write the observations.
3. Collect the month wise COVID cases data for cities – Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot,Surat. Plot
this time series Data. Analyze the trend as per time.

4. There is a need to advice the 12th standard students that which college he/she should choose for
engineering education. Decide the features to use for grading the engineering college. Prepare the
data set. Write a program to apply random forest algorithm and suggest the best suited college for
12th standard students.

6. Take the data of the students prepared in exercise 1. Visualize the data to show region wise results,
branch wise results, subject wise results. Decide the visualization technique to show appropriate
data.
bar chart, pie chart, maps, scatter plot

7. Use D3.js to show following.

(i) Take year wise population.
(ii) Show appropriate size circle for population as per year.
(iii) Fill color in circle.
(iv) Prepare bar chart and pie chart.
(v) Explore other functionality of D3.js
