Topics learnt today:
1: Creating a “Point” Object with the Geopy Library:
- I’ve defined the latitude and longitude values for a specific location and created a Point object by passing these values to the Point() constructor after which, I accessed the latitude and longitude of the Point object using the latitude and longitude attributes.
- The purpose of this is often to work with geospatial data in various data analysis or mapping tasks.
2: Geographical heat maps serve as a valuable tool for visualizing data related to fatal police shootings.
- The histogram and the smooth histogram show where these incidents occur with greater frequency.
- This visualization technique allows individuals to identify areas with a higher concentration of fatal police shootings, providing a clear and intuitive picture of the regions where the problem is most significant.
- Geographical heat maps often use color gradients to represent the density of incidents, with darker colors indicating higher concentrations
