Project Description
Warning: the dataset in this project contains explicit language.
South Park is a satiric American TV show that is popular around the world. In this Project, you will combine two datasets: dialogs from the first 21 seasons (287 episodes) and IMDB ratings of these episodes. Using some text analysis principles, you will answer questions like: Are naughtier episodes more popular? Is Eric Cartman the naughtiest character in the show?
You will apply skills from Introduction to the Tidyverse or Sentiment Analysis in R: The Tidy Way. You will be answering the questions using ggplot2 so Data Visualization with ggplot2: Part 2 might come in handy too.
Note: this project is soft launched, which means you may experience bugs. Please click "Report an Issue" in the top-right corner of the screen to provide feedback.
