Chi Square Test :
1. Performed a Chi-Square Test of Independence, confirming a statistically significant relationship between region and political violence (p < 0.00001).
2. Filtered high-fatality events in top 5 states and created a cleaned word cloud to identify dominant conflict-related keywords like “militants,” “Meitei,” and “Bijapur.”
3. Examined identity-based violence trends, fatality rates by category, and the most targeted victim groups.
4. We analyzed political violence data to identify the top 5 states with the highest number of events and calculated their percentage share nationally.
5. We calculated and visualized fatality rates (deaths per dispute) to understand which states experience the deadliest incidents.
6. We explored how state-level GDP percentages relate to fatality rates and observed that low-GDP states like Manipur and Chhattisgarh often report higher fatalities.
7. This helped us highlight economic and structural vulnerabilities in conflict-prone regions.

1.  Identify all political parties mentioned in the dataset by region this includes both state-level (regional) parties and national parties operating across India.

2. Group and consolidate data entries that originate from the same source, to analyze consistency, tone, or focus in reporting.

3. From the notes column, extract unique keywords or recurring terms that help draw insights or patterns similar to the word cloud analysis demonstrated in class using Mathematica. I used Python to extract them.

4. Analyze source-wise content to determine whether any reports or articles appear to be biased toward or against specific political parties.

5. Compare the proportion of incidents to fatality rates across different regions and draw meaningful conclusions about conflict severity and lethality patterns in various parts of India.

Region and Event Type
1.The type of disorder or conflict varies significantly across different regions of India.
2. Certain event types are more common in some regions than others — this difference is not random.
3. we can use this insight to explore why certain regions have certain conflict types.
4.we can Build region-specific policy recommendations or visual dashboards for decision-makers.

1.In the class we discussed about time series of number of police shootings each week.

2.We have seen some scatter plots and histograms based on the time series .

 

Objective : some victims were shot by the different state police departments . I have found around 40 records and that looks uncommon .

 

1. I have been using Python to get some insight on the data on the objective I’m working on.

 

2. I am also going through matplotlib to plot the graph for the data insight.

1 . We have discussed about the report , which was on the objective : Which country has the highest number of shootings .

2. I have checked some records which looks uncommon , some victims were shot by the different state police departments . I have found around 40 records and that looks uncommon .

3. we have discussed about tools named Mathematica .

Objectives :

 

1. Which police department has the highest number of shootings, and among those incidents, what is the ratio of Black and White individuals, including minors and those with mental illnesses?

2. I have checked some records which looks uncommon , some victims were shot by the different state police departments . And in some cases the victims are minor . I’m trying to analyze more on this objective.

3 .Which county has the highest number of recorded shootings, and which race, particularly among minors, has been affected the most?

1.We have discussed about the raw data from the Washington post .
2.Also discussed about Tools , Subject and the objective .
3.Also got to know how to setup a wordpress site at umassd.
4.Also got to know how the report should look like and the report should be targeting the people who are getting benefited by the insights from the raw data.
Discussed Subject and Objectives :
1.In Which Police Station the most shootings were done .
2.Which race people have been shot the most and what was the age , Whether they are armed or unarmed
Some Questions During the Community Discussion :
1. what to do with the null values .
