This site is the project showcase of the course of EMSE 6572 Exploratory Data Analysis in Fall 2023. This course is lectured by Prof. John Paul Helveston.

This project is performed as a team by these members: Pingfan Hu, Abbey Kollar.

About the Project

Renewable energy in the USA has seen significant growth from 2000 to 2023. This research studies solar and wind energies and dives into three primary reasons behind this expansion:

  1. Cost of Solar and Wind Energy
  2. Policies and Incentives, and
  3. Energy Research Budgets

This project contains the following:

  1. Project Proposal
  2. Progress Report
  3. Final Report
  4. Presentation

The study aims to highlight which of these factors played the most crucial roles in this energy transformation. By understanding these relationships, we can better anticipate the future of renewable energy and make informed decisions.

Data wrangling and analysis are both performed using R coding language, presented with Quarto files.
