Data Preparation
To ensure data consistency and address any missing values before analysis began several steps were taken to preprocess the data.
In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our analysis we took steps during the phase. These steps included replacing missing asset.id values with a sequence filling in missing asset.name and asset.collection.name with 'Unknown' and removing the 'asset.collection.short_description' column.
