Best Practices

Data Analysis

• Always explore data before modeling
• Check data quality and missing values
• Understand variable distributions
• Look for correlations and relationships
• Document data cleaning steps
• Validate assumptions

Feature Engineering

• Create domain-specific features
• Test feature importance
• Avoid data leakage
• Use cross-validation for validation
• Document feature transformations
• Keep features interpretable

Visualization

• Choose appropriate plot types
• Use clear labels and titles
• Consider color accessibility
• Avoid chartjunk
• Tell a story with data
• Make visualizations reproducible

Anti-Patterns

❌ Not exploring data before modeling ❌ Ignoring data quality issues ❌ Data leakage in feature engineering ❌ Over-engineering features ❌ Misleading visualizations ❌ Not documenting analysis steps ❌ Ignoring business context
