Data Flow

---

1. Wrangling_And_EDA.ipynb
   • In this notebook, the main dataset csv is being downloaded from the public link of Murder Accountability Project | CSV File link
   • For GeoMapping, we require the USA map shape file which we are storing in this Public Drive link accessible only via SEAS emails. You will be required to Mount your GDrive and add a shortcut of this folder (namely CIS545_Final_Project_Files) folder into your My Drive location. All further data will be stored and collected from here.
   • The above drive link also stores the income_state.csv file which is downladed from the US Census website
   • Finally, the EDA data is stored in your local drive folder copy with the name decoded_data_with_avg.csv - This file is essential for the 2nd part
2. Modeling_And_Bias.ipynb
   • Again, the your GDrive has to be mounted and this notebook expects the file decoded_data_with_avg.csv to be present. This will be created after successful execution of the above notebook.
   • 2 pickle files namely - all_encoded_data_offsex.pickle and feature_data_offsex.pickle will be stored in your local drive folder copy.
3. Interpretability.ipynb
   • GDrive is again mounted and both the files all_encoded_data_offsex.pickle and feature_data_offsex.pickle are expected to be present. Both these files will be created after successful execution of the above notebook.
