winniecook/Forest-Fire-Risk-Analysis

This project analyzes the forests dataset which includes weather and fire risk variables for locations in Algerian forests from two regions: Bejaia (northeast Algeria) and Sidi Bel-abbes (northwest Algeria). By leveraging data visualization and multiple linear regression models, this analysis explores relationships among environmental factors # Forest Fire Analysis Pipeline This project is an advanced data analysis pipeline for forest fire data, using Python for analysis, Conda for environment management, Docker for containerization, and Nextflow for workflow management. ## Project Structure ``` forest-fire-analysis/ ├── data/ │ └── forests.csv ├── scripts/ │ ├── 01_data_preprocessing.py │ ├── 02_exploratory_analysis.py │ ├── 03_statistical_modeling.py │ └── 04_visualization.py ├── notebooks/ │ └── forest_fire_analysis.ipynb ├── results/ │ └── .gitkeep ├── Dockerfile ├── environment.yml ├── main.nf ├── nextflow.config └── README.md ``` ## Setup Instructions 1. Install Conda, Docker, and Nextflow on your system. 2. Clone this repository: ``` git clone github.com cd forest-fire-analysis ``` 3. Create the Conda environment: ``` conda env create -f environment.yml ``` 4. Activate the Conda environment: ``` conda activate forest-fire-env ``` 5. Build the Docker image: ``` docker build -t forest-fire-analysis . ``` 6. Run the Nextflow pipeline: ``` nextflow run main.nf ``` ## Pipeline Steps 1. **Data Preprocessing**: Cleans the data, handles missing values, and performs feature engineering. 2. **Exploratory Analysis**: Creates various plots to visualize relationships in the data. 3. **Statistical Modeling**: Performs statistical analysis and builds predictive models. 4. **Visualization**: Creates final visualizations and summary reports. ## Results After running the pipeline, you can find the results in the `results` directory: - `preprocessed_data.csv`: Cleaned and preprocessed dataset - `exploratory_plots.png`: Exploratory data analysis plots - `model_results.txt`: Statistical modeling results - `final_visualizations.pdf`: Final visualization report ## Interactive Analysis For more in-depth, interactive analysis of the forest fire data: 1. Ensure you have run the Nextflow pipeline to generate the preprocessed data. 2. Navigate to t …
