Getting ready

We will use the dataset available at https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Dodgers+Loop+Sensor. This is a dataset that counts the number of cars passing by during baseball games at the Los Angeles Dodgers home stadium. We will use a slightly modified form of that dataset so that it's easier to analyze. You can use the traffic_data.txt file, already provided to you. Each line in this file contains comma-separated strings formatted in the following manner:

  • Day
  • Time
  • The opponent team
  • Whether or not a baseball game is going on
  • The number of cars passing by
