ITS320 Basic Programming

Objectives:

Create an animated choropleth plot using plotly that analyzes a seven-day moving average of cases for some geographic unit and sub-unit (e.g. USA and states) Create a second, non-animated, choropleth plot that shows cumulative cases per 100,000 people for the most recent date in the data file.

 

Find appropriate data source that includes new COVID-19 cases per day for the geographic region. (Direct link not downloaded file.) Find a data source that estimates the population for the geographic region. (Direct link not downloaded file) Load both to a pandas dataframe Calculate cumulative cases per 100,000 population for the sub-region (i.e., state) Calculate 7-day moving average of new cases. (You might need to research methods in pandas.)

 

Plot 7-day moving average of cases on Plotly plot and animate by day (older dates on left of slider) Create a separate plot of cumulative cases per 100,000 population. This should be for the maximum date in the dataframe and should not be animated. Plots will include relevant title and hover text. Colors will be continous scale of your choice.

 

Objectives: Create an animated scatter plot using plotly that analyzes COVID cases and deaths for some geographic unit and sub-unit (e.g. USA and states)

 

Find appropriate data source that includes new COVID-19 cases per day for the geographic region. (Direct link not downloaded file.) Load to a pandas dataframe Perform any necessary transformations to conduct analysis and plotting.

 

Plot cumulative cases as size of bubble (older dates on left of slider). Color of bubble should be continous scale and represent the cumulative number of deaths for that geographic region. Plots will include relevant title and hover text. Colors will be continous scale of your choice.
