Phenomenal paper! Very well written thus far, and a topic most don't think about!

For your paper:

• Don't forget to add an abstract, and with that, the overview. Also, change the title of the overview.
• Perhaps include a couple examples of events that happen on the islands throughout the year. Most probably happen in the summer, but that's okay! Don't be afraid to have a sense of your results before you actually compute them. Give a little more background to your paper, for someone that is not familiar with Toronto's ferry system.
• the 'Sales and Redemption over time' graph is a little difficult to read because of the overlapping colours. Consider changing the colours, or separating the graphs.
• Explain your figures a little more. Perhaps mention the values, if they are high or low, if they are what you expected or didn't expect... make it clear what the purpose of the figure is and what it is showing.
• you don't necessarily need to give a 'summary' of your data. You can jump into explaining and analyzing the data. If anything, you can give an introduction to the data.
• Moreover, include an introduction of your data. Describe the variables included that you are analyzing the data and describe their units. Is sales per person? How much is a ticket? What exactly is redemption data?
• include an appendix at the end explaining how you cleaned your data.
• try to avoid wordy words. https://github.com/chuyun2024/Analyzing-Toronto-Islands-Ferry-Tickets-Sales-and-Redemption-Count-Data/blob/52da1e8ba7dc112873992eb9ced78b3f882e789d/paper/paper.qmd#L158 don't write that 'it is obvious that its a linear relationship', just state that it is. For some readers, it may not be so obvious!
• Add a little more detail to your figure captions. https://github.com/chuyun2024/Analyzing-Toronto-Islands-Ferry-Tickets-Sales-and-Redemption-Count-Data/blob/52da1e8ba7dc112873992eb9ced78b3f882e789d/paper/paper.qmd#L144 Instead of 'Relationship between Sales and Redemption', you might want to write 'Relationship between Sales and Redemption of Toronto's Ferry System in 2023'. you want to be able to tell what the graph is depicting without the rest of the paper. Also you have a typo in this line :)
• this is not necessary, but you can include an analysis of past years as well! See if the trends you notice are recurring every year. Why or why not?

Very good work! Clear and concise, the figures are telling and appropriate, and your repo is organized! Good luck!

Hi Crisbueca!

Thank you very much for your peer review!

The following items are changed based on your feedback:

• add an abstract
• color changed to Sales and Redemption over time
• Explain your figures a little more
• include an introduction of data. Describe the variables included that you are analyzing the data and describe their units. Is sales per person? How much is a ticket? What exactly is redemption data? are answered
• Add a little more detail to figure captions
• include an paragraph explaining how I cleaned data
• deleted the "it is obvious"s in my papers
• Explain my figures a little more

The following are not changed:

• Since the past year data is not available, I can't add the past year analysis, but good idea!
• the summary section is kept since it is required by rubrics

The following point that I'm still deciding if I'll add:

• a couple examples of events that happen on the islands throughout the year

Could you remind me what is the overview you mentioned?

Thank you!!

I'm sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the title of your ReadME, but you seem to have changed it!

The overview in your readME can have slightly more information. Maybe consider including the first line or two of your abstract. That's all !
