Theory related to Exploratory Data Analysis, Statistics (mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, range, Quartiles, deciles, percentiles, correlation, outliers, Z score, confidence interval, hypothesis testing), Visualizations (pie chart, histogram, bar chart, box & whisker plot etc.), and Experimental Design can be learnt from various Youtube channels.

Our main channel to follow for related theory is Simple Learning Pro.

Simple Learning ProWe try to create animated educational videos in the most simplest, concise, and clearest form possible. The purpose of this channel is to help people learn as easily and as quickly as possible, while providing them with a resource they can use to supplement their learning in school

Semester Projects and assignments

Semester Project 1: Scrap espncricinfo data (see the adjacent link) into .csv file and answer following using Python as well as Excel:

Who is the top man of the series award in test cricket. Provide list of top 5 players.
List names of Pakistani and Indian players present in the list
Which type of playerr's got most awards (bowler, batsman, all rounder)?
Which country has most number of players in top 10, top 20, top 30, ...

Assignment 1: Explore five job postings related to web scraping and prepare a word document. Carefully read those jobs and make a summary in your own words.

Assignment 2: Perform Data preparation and preprocessing of the .csv file (or excel file) downloaded from cricinfo website. You can make a small excel file of your own and apply name and country splitting formulas on player column.

Test matches | Individual records (captains, players, umpires) | Most player-of-the-series awards | ESPNcricinfoFind records of Most player-of-the-series awards in Test matches only on ESPNcricinfo.
