In this post, I will cover getting open source COVID-19 data for the United States using Julia. The data pipeline demonstrated here is very simple example and could easily be adapted into a Prefect, Apache NiFi or Apache AirFlow ETL process. Data Search Performing a quick search on DuckDuckGo I got The COVID Tracking Project,…

Converting R scripts to Julia (Part 1)
UPDATE (8-JAN-2021): I have decided to demonstrate the conversion process using my Getting COVID-19 Data post and script instead of my Criminal Analysis project for right now. I will still be working through the conversion process for those scripts as well, but for now, I will demonstrate the conversion and translation process on a shorter…

Converting R scripts to Python (Part 1)
As part of my Criminal Analysis project, I have been initially coding everything in R. I am going to eventually convert everything to Python then probably to Julia. In preparation for this, I created my project directory to reflect this (as seen below). The following operations in the command line interface (CLI) will be in…
Criminal Analysis: Data Exploration (part 2b)
Exploring Mapping Data In a continuation from part 2a, this post will explore the spatial points datasets from my database. I need to assess what each dataset contains. To aid in the exploration of spatial data, I will demonstrate plotting spatial points. This can be a lot easier to look at this particular structure in…
Criminal Analysis: Data Exploration (part 2a)
Exploring Mapping Data My next exploration task is the mapping/geospatial tables in my database. I need to assess the what each dataset contains. To aid in the exploration of spatial data, I will demonstrate plotting of spatial points and polygons. This can be a lot easier to looking at this particular structure in tabular or…
Criminal Analysis: Data Exploration (part 1)
Exploring Criminal Activity Data My primary data set to explore is the crime table in my database. I need to assess the values and consistency across each of the fields available in what was provided by the source. It is possible for data to be a little inconsistent across each of the years over the…
Criminal Analysis: Data Search (part 4)
I have gathered three quarters of my branches on the “Other Data Sources” category. The next up is to get real estate data based on the project plan. Real Estate Data Finding good real estate data took a some work to explore and gather. I’m sure there is a lot of data available privately for…
Criminal Analysis: Data Storage (part 2)
In this post I will go over setting up a geospatial database using PostGIS, an extension to PostgreSQL. For information about setting up a PostgreSQL database please refer back to my previous Data Storage. Below is the project plan to ensure I load up all my downloaded map data. Installing and Setting up First you…
