Finally got off my ass and packaged up a simplified data transformer for the NISRA data that I was bitching about;
MVP:
!pip install tornamona
from tornamona.fixes import nisra
dataset = nisra.WeeklyDeaths().get().clean()
dataset.data.plot(x='Week Start', y=['Total Deaths','COVID19 Deaths'])
Collaboratory to fuck around in
It’d be really fun to start sharing ‘best practice’ on fixing these kinda things, with an eye to upstream data owners to
- recognise that people out here do want to help them
- see that if they invest in making data easy to use, more people will be able to use it!
I am shit at packaging and all the fancy automation stuff but I tried my best to make this pretty simple, and collaborators / PR’s / Issues / Ideas are very welcome, including but not limited to ‘This data is shit to work with, how would you tidy it up?’
