# Conference Proceedings Analysis This code is designed to analyze conference proceedings data and generate bar charts and pie charts based on the responses. It provides insights into single-selected choices and multiple-selected choices in the dataset. ## File Structure The following file structure is required to run the code successfully: Conference_Proceedings_Analysis │ main_script.py │ README.md │ ├── data │ ├── backup │ │ └── bioarchaeology_reuse.csv │ └── bioarchaeology_reuse.csv │ ├── charts │ └── image │ ├── bar │ ├── boxplot │ └── pie │ └── required_libraries └── pandas ├── matplotlib ├── seaborn ├── numpy ├── shutil └── os - `main_script.py`: The main Python script to analyze the conference proceedings data. - `README.md`: This file containing important information about the code and its usage. - `data`: A directory containing the conference proceedings data. - `backup`: A directory containing a backup of the original data file. - `bioarchaeology_reuse.csv`: The actual conference proceedings data file. - `charts`: A directory to store the generated charts. - `image`: A directory to organize the charts into subdirectories based on chart types (`bar`, `boxplot`, `pie`). - `required_libraries`: A directory containing any necessary libraries or dependencies. ## Getting Started To get started with the code, follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have the necessary Python libraries installed. You can find the list of required libraries in the `required_libraries` directory. 2. Set up the file structure as described above, ensuring that the conference proceedings data file is located in the `data` directory. 3. Run the `main_script.py` file to execute the analysis and generate the charts. 4. The generated charts will be saved in the `charts/image` directory, organized into subdirectories based on chart types. ## Customization You can customize the code to suit your specific needs. Here are a few things you can consider: - Modify the excluded columns list (`excluded_columns`) in the code to exclude specific columns from the analysis and chart generation. - Adjust the chart colours (`CB_color_cycle`) to your preference. - Update the file paths and directory names if you prefer a different file structure. Feel free to explore and adapt the code as necessary to analyze your own conference proceedings data. ## Contact Please feel free to contact me at AlfieTalks@live.co.uk if you have any questions.
