(Demo) Replicating the ProductSpace

Aims & Outcomes:

  1. Demonstrate python using a real world example

Running Locally

You can download the demo notebook here

This notebook uses The Product Space Conditions the Development of Nations [1] as motivation to demonstrate a number of tools that are available in the python ecosystem that can be used for data analysis.

To run this notebook there are some supplementary data files that you need to download as well:

  1. The data directory containing the needed data files

  2. The img directory containing the supporting image files

These will download as zip files that you will need to decompress in the same directory as where you have saved the notebook.

Running in the Cloud

This repository is also configured to use mybinder

You can launch this demo notebook without having to setup the files on your local machine.

Warning

The mybinder instance only has 1 x CPU Core so the dask section doesn’t work on the cloud as it requires a multi-core environment to do distributed compute tasks.
