Analysis Workflow

1. Understand the question - What are we trying to answer?
2. Explore the data - Shape, types, distributions, missing values
3. Clean and prepare - Handle issues found in exploration
4. Analyze - Apply appropriate statistical methods
5. Visualize - Create clear, informative charts
6. Conclude - Actionable insights and recommendations
