Purpose of this Notebook#

This notebook demonstrates the following analyses:

  • Visualizing Business Activity Data by Vertical for the National Population:
    Assessing how different business sectors were impacted during and after each crisis period.

  • Analyzing Changes in Business Activity by Region and Vertical:
    Exploring how business activity varied across Indian states and districts (Admin 2), with breakdowns by sector.

Data Information Summary#

This dataset provides insights into business activity at the GADM 2 level, covering xx districts in India.

Activity Quantile (activity_quantile):#

The activity quantile metric is used to measure changes in Business Activity.

  • Purpose: Measures changes in business activity relative to a baseline period.

  • Key Values:

    • 0.5: Normal activity (baseline level).

    • Above 0.5: Increased activity.

    • Below 0.5: Decreased activity.

Calculation Overview:#

  1. Compare daily activity of business pages to their baseline activity levels (quantiles).

  2. Aggregate and standardize these values to follow a normal distribution.

  3. Apply a cumulative probability transformation to derive a value between 0 and 1.

  4. Average results over 7 days to reduce daily noise.

  5. Provides equal weight to all businesses, avoiding bias from more active pages.
