Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll turn your data science skills to analyzing an OTC network dataset scraped from bitcoin users in order to establish the most (and least!) trustworthy users. You’ll analyze a provided graph dataset, visualize it, generate features, and then create user clusters. You’ll start out by reading and examining the trust network dataset in Python, then create and interpret user clusters, and finally visualize the nodes and edges of the network dataset. This fast and engaging data science project will stretch your skills and build your knowledge of clustering.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
