COMP3425 and COMP8410 Data Mining 2022 Assignment 2 Description of
Data and Metadata
The data supplied for the assignment arises from The Australian Data Archive’s ANU Poll Dataverse [1]. As a student of the course, you are assumed to accept the Terms and Conditions of Use reproduced below. Please read them carefully. The custodian of the data has requested you delete your data at the end of the course.
In particular the data captures the results of a survey poll conducted in 2020 on the topic of Data Governance. You can find a complete description of the purpose of the poll and coding ofthe data (metadata) and also a descriptive summary of the poll results here:

The data is provided to you for the assignment in two forms. The first is the original dataset as download from the ADA called 2.ADA.ANUPoll35.CSV.01474, in comma-separated-values format. This data is described by the metadata in 1.ADA.OTHER.01474.
The second is a form derived from the original, pre-processed for the COMP3425 data mining assignment, in comma-separated-values format called 3425_data.csv. Below you will find a description of the pre-processing undertaken and this, in addition to the original metadata, willbe needed to assist your understanding of the data.
If you are a COMP3425 (undergraduate) student, you must work with the pre- processeddataset 3425_data.csv.
If you are COMP8410 (postgraduate) student you may use either the original or the pre- processed data, or both. The original will give you more opportunity to show off your technical skills and creativity, while the pre-processed one is more constrained but may save time, requiring you to spend less effort understanding the data, and helping to avoid some data errors. The same rubric will be used for marking in both cases, but the original dataset provides an extended learning experience and better opportunity for higher marks. Even if you use the original data, you may find it useful to observe the pre-processing that has been undertaken to seed ideas or to solve problems you encounter.
Pre-processing applied to derive 3425_data.csv
• Only a small selection of the original attributes have been retained.
• The following columns have been added, based on respondent’s answers to
questions [A4s and F2s], which have answers that range from very negative to very positive.
o A4F2_agg: A normalized number in the range [0,1] that shows how opinionated is the respondent on different parts of A4 and F2.
A4F2_agg =AVERAGE((AVERAGE(ABS(A4i-2.5))/1.5),(AVERAGE(ABS(F2j-3)) /2)) o opinionated: A Boolean version of A4F2_agg that expresses whether the
respondent is opinionated or not.
opinionated =IF( AND(A4F2_agg >=0.5, A4F2_agg <=1),TRUE,FALSE) • The undecided_voter variable was added based on the given answer to A2. • For two categorical columns, A2 and StateMap, double quotations were added to all cells and the empty cells were filled with “NaN”. For the rest of categorical columns, you can use the same approach to help Rattle recognise the type of data in a column.
