What is this project about? Well, here's a question for you. Ever wondered how 'Popular' your birthday is? Well, in this project, I go in-depth into a Dataset containing U.S. births data for the years 1994 to 2014.

About

• View the source code here
• In this project, I wanted to see if I could find interesting trends and patterns regarding the Day of the Month, the Day of the Week as well as the Year that a person was born in.
• This also allowed me to go through the basics of Pandas, Matplotlib and NumPy again (as a refresher).
• This proejct also covers my thought processes of what one should do when trying to do basic Data Analysis on a given Dataset.
  • This includes: Data Cleaning, How to Structure your Data using Pandas, Indexing, Filtering, Graphing Techniques, Observation of Trends, Types of graphs and its Advantages.
• The Dataset was obtained from FiveThirtyEight. (TYSM!)
