Episode 2: Statistics

Is this Data Science?

Use metaflow to load the movie metadata CSV file into a Pandas Dataframe and compute some movie genre-specific statistics. These statistics are then used in later examples to improve our playlist generator. You can optionally use the Metaflow client to eyeball the results in a Notebook, and make some simple plots using the Matplotlib library.

You can find the tutorial code on GitHub
