Project Information

Data

Data Source: snscrape.modules.twitter

• Explanation_Data.txt: Contains the raw content of all queried tweets.
• PS2_Data.txt: Contains the number of queried tweets for each day from Jan 1st 2013 to Dec 31st 2022. Days without queried tweets are not shown.

Code

Modelling Tool: scikit-learn

• PS2_Query_Data.ipynb: Queries tweets and records their dates. Produces the data file PS2_Data.txt.
• PS2_Process_Data.ipynb: Processes and visualizes PS2_Data.txt.
• Final_Analyze_Data.ipynb: This is the new part in this project: to analyze PS2_Data.txt. Produces the figure causal_inference_spotlight.png.

Spotlights
