peer review from Sakura Hu

Opening Statement Summary
This is a review of Yun Chu's paper on Analyzing Toronto Islands Ferry Tickets Sales and Redemption Count Data.

Strong Positive Points

• The language is precise and clear.

Critical Improvements Needed

1. The data section of the rubric mentions a few aspects that were missed, including:
   • A discussion of the broader context of the dataset.
   • Thorough examination and explanation of the variables.
   • explanation of the data cleaning process.
2. There are some spelling mistakes that should be reviewed and corrected.
3. The simulated data: The number of sales and redemptions simulated is too small compared to the actual dataset.

Suggestions for Improvement

1. Consider adding more tests.
2. The title could be more descriptive, ideally hinting at the findings or conclusion, as suggested in the rubric.
3. There is a "Measurement" section mentioned in the rubric that I’m not sure if you have included in your paper. You may want to check that.
4. You might want to discuss if there were similar datasets available and why you chose not to use them—this is also mentioned in the rubric.
5. It could be helpful to add comments within the code sections of your paper to clarify your thought process and make it easier to follow.

Estimated Mark: 25/38

Reason:
I have marked only the sections of the rubric that you have completed. For elements like the "abstract," which are not yet present, I have excluded them from the grading consideration.

Hi Sakura,

Thank you so much for the peer review! All the reviews are really constructive and helpful to me!

The following aspects are added to my paper based on your feedback:

• A discussion of the broader context of the dataset.
• Thorough examination and explanation of the variables.
• Explanation of the data cleaning process.
• More test cases: included tests for actual data
• Measurement section
• If there are similar datasets
• comments of the code sectons

The following is modified:

• change to a more descriptive title

The follwing is not changed:

• simulated data: I think simulation is just a format simulation of the actual dataset, the values not being close are fine.
