Suppose you are working for the Australian Government as a "Data Scientist" to tackle COVID-19 or any other future pandemic. Google has released a dataset on people's mobility during the pandemic. As a "Data Scientist" can you find some critical information from that dataset, which can help Australia tackle COVID-19?
Tasks of the Assignment:
• Explore and understand the provided dataset.
• Explore the literature to find out the work of other researchers on this dataset.
• As you have a little bit of understanding of the dataset now, select a research question that you can answer after analysing it.
• You will investigate further in assignment two, according to this chosen research question.
1. Introduction:
• Provide a brief discussion on the dataset details.
• From where did you download the dataset?
• How can this dataset help Australia to tackle COVID 19? Please justify.
2. Data Exploration:
• Discuss the size of the dataset.
• Discuss the format of the dataset.
• Discuss the features (columns) of the dataset.
3. Literature Review:
• Find at least two research works from "Google scholar (Any preprint or published work)" where the researchers have used this dataset.
• Please provide a brief discussion of their research. How did the researchers use this dataset to answer their research question?
4. Research Question/Selection of the Problem:
• Identify a research question that you can answer after analysing the dataset.
• Justify your research question. Why is your research question important? How can this help Australia to tackle COVID19 or any future pandemic?
5. Privacy:
• As this is a dataset of community mobility, how did google protect the privacy of its users?
6. Writing Style and Report Format:
• The report is written clearly, and the sections are connected.
• The report followed the given structure.
• Proper and correct intext citation is presented in the report.
• The report cannot exceed five pages. Any front of size 12pt is accepted.
