15.2 Approach

We’ll take some guidance from the C4 model ( https://c4model.com) when looking at our approach:

• Context: For this project, a context diagram would show a user creating analytical reports. You may find it helpful to draw this diagram.

• Containers: There only seems to be one container: the user’s personal computer.

• Components: We’ll address the components below.

• Code: We’ll touch on this to provide some suggested directions.

The heart of this application is a module to summarize data in a way that lets us test whether it fits the expectations of a model. The statistical model is a simplified reflection of the underlying real-world processes that created the source data. The model’s simplifications include assumptions about events, measurements, internal state changes, and other details of the processing being observed.

For very simple cases — like Anscombe’s Quartet data — there are only two variables, which leaves...
