Description

Increases efficiency in aggregate process by:

decreasing the number of iterations needed
decreasing the amount of data that is accessed in each iteration
decreasing the memory consumption of the process by removing unnecessary list creations

Increases efficiency in analyze process by:

reducing the size of the dictionary that stores the aggregate data read from the csv file
reorganizing the loops s.t. the aggregate data is only loaded once (since it takes time to open the file which is large)
