Data Analysis

To run the data analysis scripts, you will need to have python >=3.8 and the pipenv package installed. Pipenv is used to handle all the dependencies. Once it is isntalled, do the following:

• Open the analysis directory
• pipenv install
• pipenv run python init.py

You can then run the various analysis scripts using pipenv run python script.py. Output will be stored to analysis/output. The scripts include:
