Data Preparation & Missing Data Handling
The raw data was processed using a Python script to transform it into a clean, structured format. The key steps were:
- Filtering: The data was filtered to include only records for 'Angola'.
- Reshaping: The original wide-format data (years as columns) was melted into a long format.
- Merging: Data from all indicator files was merged into a single DataFrame on 'Year'.
- Handling Missing Data: Missing values (
NaN) were filled using a two-step strategy: linear interpolation followed by a back-fill to handle any remaining gaps at the start of the series.
