This exercise requires that we work with an "1000 Cameras Dataset" provided by Chris Crawford on Kaggle. We will be looking at some trends across a MODIFIED version of this, available at this Google Drive link. ## Assignment Instructions This assignment is due **September 10, 2026 @ 11:59pm**. We base our grading on the **last updated timestamp** of your notebook; please take care to not modify your notebook at any point after this submission time. Otherwise, please follow these instructions: 1. Fork this notebook to make sure that you are working on your own copy! 2. Fill your name and NetID in the code block below. **You will not receive credit if you do not fill this part properly.** 3. All required code exercises are marked with a [TO-DO]. Please fill these out to the best of your ability. - You may refer to either Week 1 Lab for reference or additional online resources such as documentation and public forums for help with these questions. - **Please be mindful of our academic integrity policies when completing this assignment.** 4. Make this notebook either public or unlisted. **You will not receive credit if you do not accomplish this step.** 5. On Brightspace, submit the URL to this notebook under the relevant assignment.28:T834,--- ## Part 4: Extending Our Understanding: Bar Charts and Boxplots (22%) Scatter plots can only give us so much context to the data. We need additional charts to start observing trends more easily. One thing we hadn't considered thus far in our data is the number of cameras across time. What if our data is actually biased by having more recent cameras than pre-2000 cameras, for example? Are there other ways to visualize the same trends we've explored above? Let's try to understand the distributions of our data in different ways.. For this part, we need to extend into different chart types other than scatter plots. Make sure to get acquainted with the possible [mark types](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/mark.html#types) provided by **Vega-Lite**. We'll be focused on two distinct types: Bar Charts, and Boxplots.

Bar Charts v.s. Histograms: Which to Use?

Bar charts and histograms are very useful tools for demonstrating the distribution of data across either a spectrum of data or across aggregated sections of data. There is a distinction between them, however.

Bar charts describe distinct, discrete categories in the data. This can be features such as labels, company names, or seasons of a year. The bins of bar charts can be either nominal or ordinal.
Histograms describe the distribution of data across a spectrum of continuous data. The feature that is binned is usually quantitative and requires some intuition on how to divide the continuous data into equal segments.

For the purposes of this assignment, we'll explore bar charts. However, just know that Vega-Lite offers the ability to generate both kinds of graphs using the markBar() method; it's all about what kind of data you feed into it that determines whether it's a bar chart or a histogram. For the determined, we recommend at least viewing the possible types of encodings useful for bar charts.

How many camera entries per year? (11%)\n\n

[TO-DO]

Generate a bar chart that visualizes the number of cameras reported for each year (x-axis). To do this, you need to take advantage of the markBar() mark type and play around with the aggregate() encoding for the y-axis. There is no need to render a tooltip or colors for this bar chart. We emphasize \"bar chart\" as we are treating the Release date as an ordinal data type.\n

Type: bar chart with proper aggregate() usage (5%)
Correct X-axis field and type (3%)
Correct Y-axis field and type (3%)

[TO-DO]

\n Generate a boxplot of the relationship between Dimensions (x-axis) and Weight (y-axis). While we recommend that you bin the cameras' dimensions by magnitudes of 10, it's up to you. To use boxplots, make sure to use the markBoxplot() method provided by Vega-Lite.\n
