Analyzing the data

As we have seen in our journey in this book, data preprocessing is not an island and the best data preprocessing is done by being informed about the analytics goals. So we will continue preprocessing the data as we go about answering the four questions in this case study. Let's progress in this subsection one AQ at a time.
