All the private household are included in the sampling frame. In each household selected, the current resident are surveyed, and people who are usual resident but are currently away (work, health, holydays reasons, or border student for example. If the household had been residing in Tuvalu for less than one year: - but intend to reside more than 12 months => The household is included - do not intend to reside more than 12 months => out of scope

Sampling procedure

It was decided that 33% (one third) sample was sufficient to achieve suitable levels of accuracy for key estimates in the survey. So the sample selection was spread proportionally across all the island except Niulakita as it was considered too small. For selection purposes, each island was treated as a separate stratum and independent samples were selected from each. The strategy used was to list each dwelling on the island by their geographical position and run a systematic skip through the list to achieve the 33% sample. This approach assured that the sample would be spread out across each island as much as possible and thus more representative.

For details please refer to Table 1.1 of the Report.

Sampling deviation

Only the island of Niulakita was not included in the sampling frame, considered too small.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

There were three main survey forms used to collect data for the survey. Each question are writen in English and translated in Tuvaluan on the same version of the questionnaire. The questionnaires were designed based on the 2004 survey questionnaire.

HOUSEHOLD FORM - composition of the household and demographic profile of each members - dwelling information - dwelling expenditure - transport expenditure - education expenditure - health expenditure - land and property expenditure - household furnishing - home appliances - cultural and social payments - holydays/travel costs - Loans and saving - clothing - other major expenditure items

INDIVIDUAL FORM - health and education - labor force (individu aged 15 and above) - employment activity and income (individu aged 15 and above): wages and salaries, working own business, agriculture and livestock, fishing, income from handicraft, income from gambling, small scale activies, jobs in the last 12 months, other income, childreen income, tobacco and alcohol use, other activities, and seafarer

DIARY (one diary per week, on a 2 weeks period, 2 diaries per household were required) - All kind of expenses - Home production - food and drink (eaten by the household, given away, sold) - Goods taken from own business (consumed, given away) - Monetary gift (given away, received, winning from gambling) - Non monetary gift (given away, received, winning from gambling)

Questionnaire Design Flaws Questionnaire design flaws address any problems with the way questions were worded which will result in an incorrect answer provided by the respondent. Despite every effort to minimize this problem during the design of the respective survey questionnaires and the diaries, problems were still identified during the analysis of the data. Some examples are provided below:

Gifts, Remittances & Donations Collecting information on the following: - the receipt and provision of gifts - the receipt and provision of remittances - the provision of donations to the church, other communities and family occasions is a very difficult task in a HIES. The extent of these activities in Tuvalu is very high, so every effort should be made to address these activities as best as possible. A key problem lies in identifying the best form (questionnaire or diary) for covering such activities. A general rule of thumb for a HIES is that if the activity occurs on a regular basis, and involves the exchange of small monetary amounts or in-kind gifts, the diary is more appropriate. On the other hand, if the activity is less infrequent, and involves larger sums of money, the questionnaire with a recall approach is preferred. It is not always easy to distinguish between the two for the different activities, and as such, both the diary and questionnaire were used to collect this information. Unfortunately it probably wasn?t made clear enough as to what types of transactions were being collected from the different sources, and as such some transactions might have been missed, and others counted twice. The effects of these problems are hopefully minimal overall.

Defining Remittances Because people have different interpretations of what constitutes remittances, the questionnaire needs to be very clear as to how this concept is defined in the survey. Unfortunately this wasn?t explained clearly enough so it was difficult to distinguish between a remittance, which should be of a more regular nature, and a one-off monetary gift which was transferred between two households.

Business Expenses Still Recorded The aim of the survey is to measure "household" expenditure, and as such, any expenditure made by a household for an item or service which was primarily used for a business activity should be excluded. It was not always clear in the questionnaire that this was the case, and as such some business expenses were included. Efforts were made during data cleaning to remove any such business expenses which would impact significantly on survey results.

Purchased goods given away as a gift When a household makes a gift donation of an item it has purchased, this is recorded in section 5 of the diary. Unfortunately it was difficult to know how to treat these items as it was not clear as to whether this item had been recorded already in section 1 of the diary which covers purchases. The decision was made to exclude all information of gifts given which were considered to be purchases, as these items were assumed to have already been recorded already in section 1. Ideally these items should be treated as a purchased gift given away, which in turn is not household consumption expenditure, but this was not possible.

Some key items missed in the Questionnaire Although not a big issue, some key expenditure items were omitted from the questionnaire when it would have been best to collect them via this schedule. A key example being electric fans which many households in Tuvalu own.

Cleaning operations

Consistency of the data: - each questionnaire was checked by the supervisor during and after the collection - before data entry, all the questionnaire were coded - the CSPRo data entry system included inconsistency checks which allow the NSO staff to point some errors and to correct them with imputation estimation from their own knowledge (no time for double entry), 4 data entry operators. - after data entry, outliers were identified in order to check their consistency.

All data entry, including editing, edit checks and queries, was done using CSPro (Census Survey Processing System) with additional data editing and cleaning taking place in Excel.

The staff from the CSD was responsible for undertaking the coding and data entry, with assistance from an additional four temporary staff to help produce results in a more timely manner.

Although enumeration didn't get completed until mid June, the coding and data entry commenced as soon as forms where available from Funafuti, which was towards the end of March. The coding and data entry was then completed around the middle of July.

A visit from an SPC consultant then took place to undertake initial cleaning of the data, primarily addressing missing data items and missing schedules. Once the initial data cleaning was undertaken in CSPro, data was transferred to Excel where it was closely scrutinized to check that all responses were sensible. In the cases where unusual values were identified, original forms were consulted for these households and modifications made to the data if required.

Despite the best efforts being made to clean the data file in preparation for the analysis, no doubt errors will still exist in the data, due to its size and complexity. Having said this, they are not expected to have significant impacts on the survey results.

Under-Reporting and Incorrect Reporting as a result of Poor Field Work Procedures The most crucial stage of any survey activity, whether it be a population census or a survey such as a HIES is the fieldwork. It is crucial for intense checking to take place in the field before survey forms are returned to the office for data processing. Unfortunately, it became evident during the cleaning of the data that fieldwork wasn?t checked as thoroughly as required, and as such some unexpected values appeared in the questionnaires, as well as unusual results appearing in the diaries. Efforts were made to indentify the main issues which would have the greatest impact on final results, and this information was modified using local knowledge, to a more reasonable answer, when required.

Data Entry Errors Data entry errors are always expected, but can be kept to a minimum with

Abstract

The 2003 Agriculture Sample Census was designed to meet the data needs of a wide range of users down to district level including policy makers at local, regional and national levels, rural development agencies, funding institutions, researchers, NGOs, farmer organisations, etc. As a result the dataset is both more numerous in its sample and detailed in its scope compared to previous censuses and surveys. To date this is the most detailed Agricultural Census carried out in Africa.

The census was carried out in order to: · Identify structural changes if any, in the size of farm household holdings, crop and livestock production, farm input and implement use. It also seeks to determine if there are any improvements in rural infrastructure and in the level of agriculture household living conditions; · Provide benchmark data on productivity, production and agricultural practices in relation to policies and interventions promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and other stake holders. · Establish baseline data for the measurement of the impact of high level objectives of the Agriculture Sector Development Programme (ASDP), National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) and other rural development programs and projects. · Obtain benchmark data that will be used to address specific issues such as: food security, rural poverty, gender, agro-processing, marketing, service delivery, etc.

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure

The Mainland sample consisted of 3,221 villages. These villages were drawn from the National Master Sample (NMS) developed by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to serve as a national framework for the conduct of household based surveys in the country. The National Master Sample was developed from the 2002 Population and Housing Census. The total Mainland sample was 48,315 agricultural households. In Zanzibar a total of 317 enumeration areas (EAs) were selected and 4,755 agriculture households were covered. Nationwide, all regions and districts were sampled with the exception of three urban districts (two from Mainland and one from Zanzibar).

In both Mainland and Zanzibar, a stratified two stage sample was used. The number of villages/EAs selected for the first stage was based on a probability proportional to the number of villages in each district. In the second stage, 15 households were selected from a list of farming households in each selected Village/EA, using systematic random sampling, with the village chairpersons assisting to locate the selected households.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The census covered agriculture in detail as well as many other aspects of rural development and was conducted using three different questionnaires: • Small scale questionnaire • Community level questionnaire • Large scale farm questionnaire

The small scale farm questionnaire was the main census instrument and it includes questions related to crop and livestock production and practices; population demographics; access to services, resources and infrastructure; and issues on poverty, gender and subsistence versus profit making production unit.

The community level questionnaire was designed to collect village level data such as access and use of common resources, community tree plantation and seasonal farm gate prices.

The large scale farm questionnaire was administered to large farms either privately or corporately managed.

Questionnaire Design The questionnaires were designed following user meetings to ensure that the questions asked were in line with users data needs. Several features were incorporated into the design of the questionnaires to increase the accuracy of the data: • Where feasible all variables were extensively coded to reduce post enumeration coding error. • The definitions for each section were printed on the opposite page so that the enumerator could easily refer to the instructions whilst interviewing the farmer. • The responses to all questions were placed in boxes printed on the questionnaire, with one box per character. This feature made it possible to use scanning and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) technologies for data entry. • Skip patterns were used to reduce unnecessary and incorrect coding of sections which do not apply to the respondent. • Each section was clearly numbered, which facilitated the use of skip patterns and provided a reference for data type coding for the programming of CSPro, SPSS and the dissemination applications.

Cleaning operations

Data processing consisted of the following processes: · Data entry · Data structure formatting · Batch validation · Tabulation

Data Entry Scanning and ICR data capture technology for the small holder questionnaire were used on the Mainland. This not only increased the speed of data entry, it also increased the accuracy due to the reduction of keystroke errors. Interactive validation routines were incorporated into the ICR software to track errors during the verification process. The scanning operation was so successful that it is highly recommended for adoption in future censuses/surveys. In Zanzibar all data was entered manually using CSPro.

Prior to scanning, all questionnaires underwent a manual cleaning exercise. This involved checking that the questionnaire had a full set of pages, correct identification and good handwriting. A score was given to each questionnaire based on the legibility and the completeness of enumeration. This score will be used to assess the quality of enumeration and supervision in order to select the best field staff for future censuses/surveys.

CSPro was used for data entry of all Large Scale Farm and community based questionnaires due to the relatively small number of questionnaires. It was also used to enter data from the 2,880 small holder questionnaires that were rejected by the ICR extraction application.

Data Structure Formatting A program was developed in visual basic to automatically alter the structure of the output from the scanning/extraction process in order to harmonise it with the manually entered data. The program automatically checked and changed the number of digits for each variable, the record type code, the number of questionnaires in the village, the consistency of the Village ID Code and saved the data of one village in a file named after the village code.

Batch Validation A batch validation program was developed in order to identify inconsistencies within a questionnaire. This is in addition to the interactive validation during the ICR extraction process. The procedures varied from simple range checking within each variable to the more complex checking between variables. It took six months to screen, edit and validate the data from the smallholder questionnaires. After the long process of data cleaning, tabulations were prepared based on a pre-designed tabulation plan.

Tabulations Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to produce the Census tabulations and Microsoft Excel was used to organize the tables and compute additional indicators. Excel was also used to produce charts while ArcView and Freehand were used for the maps.

Analysis and Report Preparation The analysis in this report focuses on regional comparisons, time series and national production estimates. Microsoft Excel was used to produce charts; ArcView and Freehand were used for maps, whereas Microsoft Word was used to compile the report.

Data Quality A great deal of emphasis was placed on data quality throughout the whole exercise from planning, questionnaire design, training, supervision, data entry, validation and cleaning/editing. As a result of this, it is believed that the census is highly accurate and representative of what was experienced at field level during the Census year. With very few exceptions, the variables in the questionnaire are within the norms for Tanzania and they follow expected time series trends when compared to historical data. Standard Errors and Coefficients of Variation for the main variables are presented in the Technical Report (Volume I).

Abstract

A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey was conducted in Ajuong Thok and Pamir Refugee Camps in October 2019 to determine the current Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) conditions as well as hygiene attitudes and practices within the households (HHs) surveyed. The assessment utilized a systematic random sampling method, and a total of 1,474 HHs (735 HHs in Ajuong Thok and 739 HHs in Pamir) were surveyed using mobile data collection (MDC) within a period of 21 days. Data was cleaned and analyzed in Excel. The summary of the results is presented in this report.

The findings show that the overall average number of liters of water per person per day was 23.4, in both Ajuong Thok and Pamir Camps, which was slightly higher than the recommended United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) minimum standard of at least 20 liters of water available per person per day. This is a slight improvement from the 21 liters reported the previous year. The average HH size was six people. Women comprised 83% of the surveyed respondents and males 17%. Almost all the respondents were refugees, constituting 99.5% (n=1,466). The refugees were aware of the key health and hygiene practices, possibly as a result of routine health and hygiene messages delivered to them by Samaritan´s Purse (SP) and other health partners. Most refugees had knowledge about keeping the water containers clean, washing hands during critical times, safe excreta disposal and disease prevention.

Sampling procedure

Households were selected using systematic random sampling. Enumerators systematically walked through the camp block by block, row by row, in such a way as to pass each HH. Within blocks, enumerators started at one corner, then systematically used the sampling interval as they walked up and down each of the rows throughout the block, covering every block in Ajuong Thok and Pamir.

In each location, the first HH sampled in a block was generated using an Excel tool customized by UNHCR which generated a Random Start and Sampling Interval.

The survey questionnaire used to collect the data consists of the following sections: - Demographics - Water collection and storage - Drinking water hygiene - Hygiene - Sanitation - Messaging - Distribution (NFI) - Diarrhea prevalence, knowledge and health seeking behaviour - Menstrual hygiene

Cleaning operations

The data collected was uploaded to a server at the end of each day. IFormBuilder generated a Microsoft (MS) Excel spreadsheet dataset which was then cleaned and analyzed using MS Excel.

Given that SP is currently implementing a WASH program in Ajuong Thok and Pamir, the assessment data collected in these camps will not only serve as the endline for UNHCR 2018 programming but also as the baseline for 2019 programming.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides data and have considerable potential to study the health and environmental exposure of the non-institutionalized US population. However, as NHANES data are plagued with multiple inconsistencies, processing these data is required before deriving new insights through large-scale analyses. Thus, we developed a set of curated and unified datasets by merging 614 separate files and harmonizing unrestricted data across NHANES III (1988-1994) and Continuous (1999-2018), totaling 135,310 participants and 5,078 variables. The variables conveydemographics (281 variables),dietary consumption (324 variables),physiological functions (1,040 variables),occupation (61 variables),questionnaires (1444 variables, e.g., physical activity, medical conditions, diabetes, reproductive health, blood pressure and cholesterol, early childhood),medications (29 variables),mortality information linked from the National Death Index (15 variables),survey weights (857 variables),environmental exposure biomarker measurements (598 variables), andchemical comments indicating which measurements are below or above the lower limit of detection (505 variables).csv Data Record: The curated NHANES datasets and the data dictionaries includes 23 .csv files and 1 excel file.The curated NHANES datasets involves 20 .csv formatted files, two for each module with one as the uncleaned version and the other as the cleaned version. The modules are labeled as the following: 1) mortality, 2) dietary, 3) demographics, 4) response, 5) medications, 6) questionnaire, 7) chemicals, 8) occupation, 9) weights, and 10) comments."dictionary_nhanes.csv" is a dictionary that lists the variable name, description, module, category, units, CAS Number, comment use, chemical family, chemical family shortened, number of measurements, and cycles available for all 5,078 variables in NHANES."dictionary_harmonized_categories.csv" contains the harmonized categories for the categorical variables.“dictionary_drug_codes.csv” contains the dictionary for descriptors on the drugs codes.“nhanes_inconsistencies_documentation.xlsx” is an excel file that contains the cleaning documentation, which records all the inconsistencies for all affected variables to help curate each of the NHANES modules.R Data Record: For researchers who want to conduct their analysis in the R programming language, only cleaned NHANES modules and the data dictionaries can be downloaded as a .zip file which include an .RData file and an .R file.“w - nhanes_1988_2018.RData” contains all the aforementioned datasets as R data objects.

Note: Reporting of new COVID-19 Case Surveillance data will be discontinued July 1, 2024, to align with the process of removing SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19 cases) from the list of nationally notifiable diseases. Although these data will continue to be publicly available, the dataset will no longer be updated.

Authorizations to collect certain public health data expired at the end of the U.S. public health emergency declaration on May 11, 2023. The following jurisdictions discontinued COVID-19 case notifications to CDC: Iowa (11/8/21), Kansas (5/12/23), Kentucky (1/1/24), Louisiana (10/31/23), New Hampshire (5/23/23), and Oklahoma (5/2/23). Please note that these jurisdictions will not routinely send new case data after the dates indicated. As of 7/13/23, case notifications from Oregon will only include pediatric cases resulting in death.

This case surveillance public use dataset has 12 elements for all COVID-19 cases shared with CDC and includes demographics, any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, presence of any underlying medical conditions and risk behaviors, and no geographic data.

CDC has three COVID-19 case surveillance datasets:

• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data with Geography: Public use, patient-level dataset with clinical data (including symptoms), demographics, and county and state of residence. (19 data elements)
• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data: Public use, patient-level dataset with clinical and symptom data and demographics, with no geographic data. (12 data elements)
• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Restricted Access Detailed Data: Restricted access, patient-level dataset with clinical and symptom data, demographics, and state and county of residence. Access requires a registration process and a data use agreement. (33 data elements)

• Data elements can be found on the COVID-19 case report form located at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/pui-form.pdf.
• Data are considered provisional by CDC and are subject to change until the data are reconciled and verified with the state and territorial data providers.
• Some data cells are suppressed to protect individual privacy.
• The datasets will include all cases with the earliest date available in each record (date received by CDC or date related to illness/specimen collection) at least 14 days prior to the creation of the current datasets. This 14-day lag allows case reporting to be stabilized and ensures that time-dependent outcome data are accurately captured.
• Datasets are updated monthly.
• Datasets are created using CDC’s Policy on Public Health Research and Nonresearch Data Management and Access and include protections designed to protect individual privacy.

Overview

The COVID-19 case surveillance database includes individual-level data reported to U.S. states and autonomous reporting entities, including New York City and the District of Columbia (D.C.), as well as U.S. territories and affiliates. On April 5, 2020, COVID-19 was added to the Nationally Notifiable Condition List and classified as “immediately notifiable, urgent (within 24 hours)” by a Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Interim Position Statement (Interim-20-ID-01). CSTE updated the position statement on August 5, 2020, to clarify the interpretation of antigen detection tests and serologic test results within the case classification (Interim-20-ID-02). The statement also recommended that all states and territories enact laws to make COVID-19 reportable in their jurisdiction, and that jurisdictions conducting surveillance should submit case notifications to CDC. COVID-19 case surveillance data are collected by jurisdictions and reported voluntarily to CDC.

For more information: NNDSS Supports the COVID-19 Response | CDC.

The deidentified data in the “COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data” include demographic characteristics, any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, clinical data, laboratory diagnostic test results, and presence of any underlying medical conditions and risk behaviors. All data elements can be found on the COVID-19 case report form located at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/pui-form.pdf.

COVID-19 Case Reports

COVID-19 case reports have been routinely submitted using nationally standardized case reporting forms. On April 5, 2020, CSTE released an Interim Position Statement with national surveillance case definitions for COVID-19 included. Current versions of these case definitions are available here: https://ndc.services.cdc.gov/case-definitions/coronavirus-disease-2019-2021/.

All cases reported on or after were requested to be shared by public health departments to CDC using the standardized case definitions for laboratory-confirmed or probable cases. On May 5, 2020, the standardized case reporting form was revised. Case reporting using this new form is ongoing among U.S. states and territories.

Data are Considered Provisional

• The COVID-19 case surveillance data are dynamic; case reports can be modified at any time by the jurisdictions sharing COVID-19 data with CDC. CDC may update prior cases shared with CDC based on any updated information from jurisdictions. For instance, as new information is gathered about previously reported cases, health departments provide updated data to CDC. As more information and data become available, analyses might find changes in surveillance data and trends during a previously reported time window. Data may also be shared late with CDC due to the volume of COVID-19 cases.
• Annual finalized data: To create the final NNDSS data used in the annual tables, CDC works carefully with the reporting jurisdictions to reconcile the data received during the year until each state or territorial epidemiologist confirms that the data from their area are correct.
• Access Addressing Gaps in Public Health Reporting of Race and Ethnicity for COVID-19, a report from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, to better understand the challenges in completing race and ethnicity data for COVID-19 and recommendations for improvement.

Data Limitations

To learn more about the limitations in using case surveillance data, visit FAQ: COVID-19 Data and Surveillance.

Data Quality Assurance Procedures

CDC’s Case Surveillance Section routinely performs data quality assurance procedures (i.e., ongoing corrections and logic checks to address data errors). To date, the following data cleaning steps have been implemented:

• Questions that have been left unanswered (blank) on the case report form are reclassified to a Missing value, if applicable to the question. For example, in the question “Was the individual hospitalized?” where the possible answer choices include “Yes,” “No,” or “Unknown,” the blank value is recoded to Missing because the case report form did not include a response to the question.
• Logic checks are performed for date data. If an illogical date has been provided, CDC reviews the data with the reporting jurisdiction. For example, if a symptom onset date in the future is reported to CDC, this value is set to null until the reporting jurisdiction updates the date appropriately.
• Additional data quality processing to recode free text data is ongoing. Data on symptoms, race and ethnicity, and healthcare worker status have been prioritized.

Data Suppression

To prevent release of data that could be used to identify people, data cells are suppressed for low frequency (<5) records and indirect identifiers (e.g., date of first positive specimen). Suppression includes rare combinations of demographic characteristics (sex, age group, race/ethnicity). Suppressed values are re-coded to the NA answer option; records with data suppression are never removed.

We describe a bibliometric network characterizing co-authorship collaborations in the entire Italian academic community. The network, consisting of 38,220 nodes and 507,050 edges, is built upon two distinct data sources: faculty information provided by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and publications available in Semantic Scholar. Both nodes and edges are associated with a large variety of semantic data, including gender, bibliometric indexes, authors' and publications' research fields, and temporal information. While linking data between the two original sources posed many challenges, the network has been carefully validated to assess its reliability and to understand its graph-theoretic characteristics. By resembling several features of social networks, our dataset can be profitably leveraged in experimental studies in the wide social network analytics domain as well as in more specific bibliometric contexts. , The proposed network is built starting from two distinct data sources:

the entire dataset dump from Semantic Scholar (with particular emphasis on the authors and papers datasets) the entire list of Italian faculty members as maintained by Cineca (under appointment by the Italian Ministry of University and Research).

By means of a custom name-identity recognition algorithm (details are available in the accompanying paper published in Scientific Data), the names of the authors in the Semantic Scholar dataset have been mapped against the names contained in the Cineca dataset and authors with no match (e.g., because of not being part of an Italian university) have been discarded. The remaining authors will compose the nodes of the network, which have been enriched with node-related (i.e., author-related) attributes. In order to build the network edges, we leveraged the papers dataset from Semantic Scholar: specifically, any two authors are said to be connected if there is at least one pap..., , # Data cleaning and enrichment through data integration: networking the Italian academia

Description of the data and file structure

This repository contains two main data files:

• edge_data_AGG.csv, the full network in comma-separated edge list format (this file contains mainly temporal co-authorship information);
• Coauthorship_Network_AGG.graphml, the full network in GraphML format.Â

along with several supplementary data, listed below, useful only to build the network (i.e., for reproducibility only):

• University-City-match.xlsx, an Excel file that maps the name of a university against the city where its respective headquarter is located;
• Areas-SS-CINECA-match.xlsx, an Excel file that maps the research areas in Cineca against the research areas in Semantic Scholar.

📊 Instagram Reach Analysis | تحليل الوصول في إنستغرام

An exploratory data analysis project using Excel to understand what influences Instagram post reach and engagement.
مشروع تحليل استكشافي لفهم العوامل المؤثرة في وصول منشورات إنستغرام وتفاعل المستخدمين، باستخدام Excel.

📁 Project Description | وصف المشروع

This project uses an Instagram dataset imported from Kaggle to explore how different factors like hashtags, saves, shares, and caption length influence impressions and engagement.
يستخدم هذا المشروع بيانات من إنستغرام تم استيرادها من منصة Kaggle لتحليل كيف تؤثر عوامل مثل الهاشتاقات، الحفظ، المشاركة، وطول التسمية التوضيحية في عدد مرات الظهور والتفاعل.

🛠️ Tools Used | الأدوات المستخدمة

• Microsoft Excel
• Pivot Tables
• TRIM, WRAP, and other Excel formulas
• مايكروسوفت إكسل
• الجداول المحورية
• دوال مثل TRIM و WRAP وغيرها في Excel

🧹 Data Cleaning | تنظيف البيانات

• Removed unnecessary spaces using TRIM
• Removed 17 duplicate rows → 103 unique rows remained

• Standardized formatting: freeze top row, wrap text, center align

• إزالة المسافات غير الضرورية باستخدام TRIM

• حذف 17 صفًا مكررًا → تبقى 103 صفوف فريدة

• تنسيق موحد: تثبيت الصف الأول، لف النص، وتوسيط المحتوى

🔍 Key Analysis Highlights | أبرز نتائج التحليل

1. Impressions by Source | مرات الظهور حسب المصدر

• Highest reach: Home > Hashtags > Explore > Other
• Some totals exceed 100% due to overlapping

2. Engagement Insights | رؤى حول التفاعل

• Saves strongly correlate with higher impressions
• Caption length is inversely related to likes
• Shares have weak correlation with impressions

3. Hashtag Patterns | تحليل الهاشتاقات

• Most used: #Thecleverprogrammer, #Amankharwal, #Python
• Repeating hashtags does not guarantee higher reach

✅ Conclusion | الخلاصة

Shorter captions and higher save counts contribute more to reach than repeated hashtags. Profile visits are often linked to new followers.
العناوين القصيرة وعدد الحفظات تلعب دورًا أكبر في الوصول من تكرار الهاشتاقات. كما أن زيارات الملف الشخصي ترتبط غالبًا بزيادة المتابعين.
