The data provided correspond to the average hourly consumption of the main electrical appliances in dwellings (Wh/h); in other words, monitoring the average hour-by-hour consumption of these devices. Depending on the equipment, consumption is calculated for the year and different seasonalities. These data correspond to exercise 1 of the Panel Elecdom project (April 2019-April 2020).
The overall objective of the PANEL ELECDOM project is to improve knowledge of electricity consumption in the residential sector, which, with 33% of French electricity consumption in 2017, is the most consuming sector.
This study focuses on the specific uses of electricity. Based on information collected in the field, this research system, which is unique in France, is intended to continue with the aim of dynamically assessing the impact of societal changes and consumption patterns (products, behaviour).
A communication system records, at a time step of 10 minutes in 100 housing units representative of the French stock, the electricity consumption of the appliances connected to the power outlets and those of the electrical outlets on the switchboard. The data is then sent daily to an ftp server. Each dwelling is equipped with an average of 24.8 measuring points.

I am developing my data science skills in areas outside of my previous work. An interesting problem for me was to identify which factors influence life expectancy on a national level. There is an existing Kaggle data set that explored this, but that information was corrupted. Part of the problem solving process is to step back periodically and ask "does this make sense?" Without reasonable data, it is harder to notice mistakes in my analysis code (as opposed to unusual behavior due to the data itself). I wanted to make a similar data set, but with reliable information.
This is my first time exploring life expectancy, so I had to guess which features might be of interest when making the data set. Some were included for comparison with the other Kaggle data set. A number of potentially interesting features (like air pollution) were left off due to limited year or country coverage. Since the data was collected from more than one server, some features are present more than once, to explore the differences.
A goal of the World Health Organization (WHO) is to ensure that a billion more people are protected from health emergencies, and provided better health and well-being. They provide public data collected from many sources to identify and monitor factors that are important to reach this goal. This set was primarily made using GHO (Global Health Observatory) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Culture Organization) information. The set covers the years 2000-2016 for 183 countries, in a single CSV file. Missing data is left in place, for the user to decide how to deal with it.
Three notebooks are provided for my cursory analysis, a comparison with the other Kaggle set, and a template for creating this data set.
There is a lot to explore, if the user is interested. The GHO server alone has over 2000 "indicators". - How are the GHO and UNESCO life expectancies calculated, and what is causing the difference? That could also be asked for Gross National Income (GNI) and mortality features. - How does the life expectancy after age 60 compare to the life expectancy at birth? Is the relationship with the features in this data set different for those two targets? - What other indicators on the servers might be interesting to use? Some of the GHO indicators are different studies with different coverage. Can they be combined to make a more useful and robust data feature? - Unraveling the correlations between the features would take significant work.

Cyclistic Bikes: A Comparison Between Casual and Annual Memberships
As part of the Google Data Analytics Certificate, I have been asked to complete a case study on the maximisation of Annual memberships vs those who choose the single and day-pass options.
The business goal of Cyclistic is clear, convert more members to Annual in an attempt to boost profits. The question is whether such a goal is truly profitable in the long term.
For this task, I will take the previous 12 months of data available from a public AWS server, https://divvy-tripdata.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html, and use that to build a forecast for the following years, looking for trends and possible problems that may impede Cyclistic’s ultimate goal
Sources and Tools
Rstudio: Tidyverse - Lubridate https://divvy-tripdata.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
Business Goal
Under the direction of Lily Moreno and, by extension Cyclistic, the aim of this case study will be to analyse the differences in usage between Casual and Annual members.
For clarity, Casual members will be those who use the Day and Single Use options when using Cyclistic, whilst Annual refers to those who purchase a 12 month subscription to the service.
The ultimate goal is to see if there is a clear business reason to push forward with a marketing campaign to convert Casual users into Annual memberships
Tasks and Data Storage
The data I will be using was previously stored on an AWS server at https://divvy-tripdata.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html. This location is publicly accessible but the data within can only be downloaded and edited locally.
For the purposes of this task, I have downloaded the data for the year 2022, 12 separate files that I then collated into a single zip file to upload to Rstudio for the purposes of cleaning, arranging and studying the information. The original files will be located on my PC and at the AWS link. As part of the process, a backup file will be created within Rstudio to ensure that the original data is always available.
Process
After uploading the dat to Rstudio and putting in a naming convention, Month, the next step was to compare and equate the names of the coloumns. As the information came from 2022, 2 years after Cyclistic updated their naming conventions, this step was more of a formality to ensure that the files could later be joined into one. No irregularities were found at this stage.
As all coloumn names matched, there was no need to rename them. furthermore, all ride_id fields were already in character format.
Once this check was complete, all tables were compiled into one, named all_trips
Cleaning
The first issue found was the number of fields used to identify the different member types. The files used a four coloumn approach with "member" and "subscriber" for Annual and "Customer" and "casual" for the casual users. These four fields were aggregated into 2, Member and Casual.
As the original files only measured ride-level, more fields were added in the form of day, week, month, year to enable more opportunites to aggregate the data.
ride_length was added for consistency and to provide a clearer output. After adding this coloumn, the data was morphed from Factor to Numeric to ensure that the final output could be measured.
Analysis
Here, I will provide the final code used to descirbe the final process
mean(all_trips_v2$ride_length) #straight average (total ride length / rides) median(all_trips_v2$ride_length) #midpoint number in the ascending array of ride lengths max(all_trips_v2$ride_length) #longest ride min(all_trips_v2$ride_length) #shortest ride

Overview:
This is the raw data of a current consumption measurement campaign of an end-device implementing the novel LoRaWAN LR-FHSS mechanism. The measurements have been made implementing a complete network, which includes a gateway, end-device and network server all implementing the LoRaWAN LR-FHSS technology. We used the following equipment:
Gateway: Kerlink iBTS Compact
End-Device: LR1121DVK1TBKS
Network Server: ChirpStack
Power Analyzer: Keysight 14585A
The provided files are for uplink LR-FHSS transmission measurements with and without confirmation with different LR-FHSS DR configurations. The current consumption exclusively accounts for the radio interface.
The configuration of the end-device is the following:
FRM Payload Size: 4 bytes
Transmission Power: +14 dBm
This dataset is part of a published journal article: R. Sanchez-Vital, L. Casals, B. Heer-Salva, R. Vidal, C. Gomez, E. Garcia-Villegas, "Energy Performance of LR-FHSS: Analysis and Evaluation", Sensors 24, no. 17: 5770, Sep. 2024. https://doi.org/10.3390/s24175770
The manuscript provides current consumption measurements, an analytical model of the average current consumption, battery lifetime, and energy efficiency of data transmission, and the evaluation of several parameters.
Journal Article Abstract:
Long-range frequency hopping spread spectrum (LR-FHSS) is a pivotal advancement in the LoRaWAN protocol that is designed to enhance the network’s capacity and robustness, particularly in densely populated environments. Although energy consumption is paramount in LoRaWAN-based end devices, this is the first study in the literature, to our knowledge, that models the impact of this novel mechanism on energy consumption. In this article, we provide a comprehensive energy consumption analytical model of LR-FHSS, focusing on three critical metrics: average current consumption, battery lifetime, and energy efficiency of data transmission. The model is based on measurements performed on real hardware in a fully operational LR-FHSS network. While in our evaluation, LR-FHSS can show worse consumption figures than LoRa, we find that with optimal configuration, the battery lifetime of LR-FHSS end devices can reach 2.5 years for a 50 min notification period. For the most energy-efficient payload size, this lifespan can be extended to a theoretical maximum of up to 16 years with a one-day notification interval using a cell-coin battery.
Data structure:
Filenames:
ACK and noACK state the use (or not) of confirmation. DR8 to DR11 state the use of each of the LR-FHSS DR configurations.
CSV file structure:
The first three rows refer to metadata (Power Analyzer and End-Device models, utilization of ACK, DR configuration, Sampling Period and Measurement Date).
Then, the labels are in the fourth row (Time, Current).
The other rows refer to the actual measurements. Time instants are measured in seconds and current in Amperes.

Greetings to the ML community! We are excited to introduce our comprehensive Network Traffic Dataset, a resource that includes not only network packet data curated for machine learning applications, but also the original PCAP files from which the dataset was derived. This dataset was born out of a rigorous lab setup and is ideal for a variety of use cases such as intrusion detection, network performance analysis, anomaly detection, and more.
The data is sourced from a controlled lab environment featuring three key systems:
The creation of the PCAP file, its transformation into a CSV file, and the addition of an "alert" feature were carried out in a systematic manner. First, we set up a controlled lab environment featuring a Kali Machine, an OWASP Broken Web Application server, and a Normal Windows PC. We then captured the network traffic between these systems using a packet sniffer, which resulted in a comprehensive PCAP file encompassing a wide array of network protocols and traffic scenarios, both benign and suspicious.
To transform this raw packet data into a more accessible and machine-readable format, we used Tshark, a network protocol analyzer. Through Tshark's powerful extraction capabilities, we parsed the PCAP file and transformed it into a CSV file. Each row in this CSV file corresponds to a single network packet, and each column represents a specific field extracted from that packet.
The final step was the addition of an "**alert**" feature to the dataset. This feature was designed to assist machine learning researchers in their work, particularly in areas such as anomaly detection or intrusion detection. To create this feature, we labeled each network packet as either "benign" or "suspicious" based on its origin and nature. The "**benign**" label represents normal network traffic primarily from the Normal Windows PC, while the "**suspicious**" label signifies potential attack traffic mainly sourced from the Kali machine attacking the OWASP server. This addition of the "alert" feature provides an important target variable for supervised machine learning models.
This dataset includes two distinct parts:
Each row in the CSV dataset corresponds to a single network packet, with each column representing one of the fields extracted from that packet. These fields capture a comprehensive view of each packet's metadata and content, providing an extensive base for network traffic analysis.
An additional column has been added to label each row as either "**benign**" or "**suspicious**". The "benign" label represents normal network traffic, primarily from the Normal Windows PC, while the "suspicious" label represents potential attack traffic, mainly sourced from the Kali machine attacking the OWASP server.
Let's go through each field:
frame.number: The number of the packet within the capture file.frame.len: The length of the packet.frame.time: The timestamp of when the packet was captured.frame.time_epoch: The timestamp in seconds since the epoch (Jan 1, 1970) when the packet was captured.frame.protocols: List of all protocols used in the packet.eth.src: The source MAC address.eth.dst: The destination MAC address.eth.type: The type field of the Ethernet frame.ip.src: The source IP address.ip.dst: The destination IP address.ip.len: The total length of the IP packet, including headers and data.ip.ttl: The time-to-live value for the IP packet.ip.flags: The flags set in the IP header.ip.frag_offset: The fragmentation offset for the IP packet.ip.proto: The protocol used in the IP packet.ip.version: The version of the IP protocol used (IPv4 or IPv6).ip.dsfield: The Differentiated Services Field (used for Quality of Service).ip.checksum: The checksum of the IP header.tcp.srcport: The source port...
