1. TASK
The starting point for your term paper will be the course book, the contents of which will serve as the basis for an
in-depth examination of one of the following questions. You are expected to research and cite from sources
co
esponding to your chosen topic.
1.1 Description of the Task
You get (A) 4 training datasets and (B) one test dataset, as well as (C) datasets for 50 ideal functions. All data
espectively consists of x-y-pairs of values.
Structure of all CSV-files provided:
X Y
x1 y1
... ...
xn yn
Your task is to write a Python-program that uses training data to choose the four ideal functions which are the
est fit out of the fifty provided (C) *.
i) Afterwards, the program must use the test data provided (B) to determine for each and every x-y-
pair of values whether or not they can be assigned to the four chosen ideal functions**; if so, the
program also needs to execute the mapping and save it together with the deviation at hand
ii) All data must be visualized logically
iii) Where possible, create/ compile suitable unit-test
* The criterion for choosing the ideal functions for the training function is how they minimize the sum of all y-
deviations squared (Least-Square)
** The criterion for mapping the individual test case to the four ideal functions is that the existing maximum
deviation of the calculated regression does not exceed the largest deviation between training dataset (A) and
the ideal function (C) chosen for it by more than factor sqrt(2)
In order to give proof of your skills in Python related to this course, you need to adhere to certain criteria when
solving the exercise; these criteria are subsequently described under ‘Details.’

1.2 Details
You are given four training datasets in the form of csv-files. Your Python program needs to be able to
independently compile a SQLite database (file) ideally via sqlalchemy and load the training data into a single five-
column spreadsheet / table in the file. Its first column depicts the x-values of all functions. Table 1, at the end of
this subsection, shows you which structure your table is expected to have. The fifty ideal functions, which are also
provided via a CSV-file, must be loaded into another table. Likewise, the first column depicts the x-values,
meaning there will be 51 columns overall. Table 2, at end of this subsection, schematically describes what
structure is expected.
After the training data and the ideal functions have been loaded into the database, the test data (B) must be
loaded line-by-line from another CSV-file and – if it complies with the compiling criterion – matched to one of the
four functions chosen under i (subsection above). Afterwards, the results need to be saved into another four-
column-table in the SQLite database. In accordance with table 3 at end of this subsection, this table contains four
columns with x- and y-values as well as the co
esponding chosen ideal function and the related deviation.
Finally, the training data, the test data, the chosen ideal functions as well as the co
esponding / assigned datasets
are visualized under an appropriately chosen representation of the deviation.
Please create a Python-program which also fulfills the following criteria:
− Its design is sensibly object-oriented
− It includes at least one inheritance
− It includes standard- und user-defined exception handlings
− For logical reasons, it makes use of Pandas’ packages as well as data visualization via Bokeh, sqlalchemy,
as well as others
− Write unit-tests for all useful elements
− Your code needs to be documented in its entirety and also include Documentation Strings, known as
”docstrings“

1.3 Additional Task
Assume that your successfully created project is on the Version Control System Git and has a Branch called
develop. On this Branch, all operations of the developer team are combined.
Write the Git-commands necessary to clone the
anch and? develop on your local PC. Imagine that you have
added a new function. Write all necessary Git-commands to introduce this project to the team’s develop Branch.
Please note: You need the commands for commit, push. Afterwards,
