Car Sales Data Engineering & Analytics

Skill by ara.so — Data Skills collection.

A comprehensive data engineering and analytics framework for processing ~24K car sales records with ETL pipelines, statistical modeling, and interactive Streamlit dashboards. Provides 15 pre-built analyses covering pricing trends, regional patterns, demographic insights, and feature correlations.

Installation

This project uses uv for package management:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Abdumalik-ProDev/Car-Sales-Data-Engineering.git
cd Car-Sales-Data-Engineering

# Install dependencies
uv sync

Dependencies: Python 3.10+, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, scipy, streamlit

Quick Start

Launch Interactive Dashboard

# Start Streamlit web UI
uv run streamlit run src/ui.py

# Alternative via entry point
uv run python -m src.main

Run Full Pipeline

# Execute all 15 analyses and generate figures
uv run python -m src.main --pipeline

This will:

  • Load and clean data/Car sales.csv
  • Generate outputs/cleaned_data.csv
  • Create 15 PNG charts in outputs/figures/

Core Module: src/analysis.py

The main analysis engine provides ETL, statistics, and modeling capabilities.

Data Loading & Cleaning

from src.analysis import CarSalesAnalysis

# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = CarSalesAnalysis('data/Car sales.csv')

# Access cleaned data
df = analyzer.data
print(f"Total records: {len(df)}")
print(f"Columns: {df.columns.tolist()}")

# Save cleaned dataset
analyzer.save_cleaned_data('outputs/cleaned_data.csv')

Key Columns:

  • car_id, date, customer_name, dealer_name, company, model
  • year, price, body_style, transmission, color
  • dealer_no, dealer_region, phone, gender, annual_income

Statistical Summaries

# Get descriptive statistics
stats = analyzer.describe_data()
print(stats)

# Revenue metrics
total_revenue = analyzer.data['price'].sum()
avg_price = analyzer.data['price'].mean()
median_price = analyzer.data['price'].median()

print(f"Total Revenue: ${total_revenue:,.0f}")
print(f"Avg Price: ${avg_price:,.0f}")
print(f"Median Price: ${median_price:,.0f}")

Generate Individual Analyses

# Q1: Price distribution
analyzer.plot_price_distribution(save_path='outputs/figures/q1_price_dist.png')

# Q2: Monthly sales trend
analyzer.plot_monthly_sales_trend(save_path='outputs/figures/q2_monthly_trend.png')

# Q3: Sales by region
analyzer.plot_sales_by_region(save_path='outputs/figures/q3_regional_sales.png')

# Q6: Income vs Price regression
analyzer.plot_income_vs_price(save_path='outputs/figures/q6_income_price.png')

# Q9: Automatic vs Manual transmission comparison (t-test)
analyzer.compare_transmission_prices(save_path='outputs/figures/q9_transmission.png')

Statistical Modeling

# Q12: Multiple linear regression
# Predicts price from year, annual_income, transmission
analyzer.multiple_regression_analysis(save_path='outputs/figures/q12_regression.png')

# Q13: Detect outliers using Z-scores
analyzer.detect_outliers_zscore(save_path='outputs/figures/q13_outliers.png')

# Q15: Test price normality with Shapiro-Wilk
analyzer.test_normality(save_path='outputs/figures/q15_normality.png')

Streamlit Dashboard (src/ui.py)

Page Structure

The dashboard provides 6 interactive sections:

  1. 📊 Overview - Data summary, sample rows, statistics
  2. 💰 Sales & Revenue - Price trends, regional analysis
  3. 👥 Demographics - Gender, income patterns
  4. 🔧 Product Insights - Brand, body style, transmission
  5. 📈 Statistical Modeling - Regression, outliers, normality
  6. 🔍 Filter & Explore - Custom filters with CSV export
  7. ⚖️ Compare Segments - Side-by-side comparison with t-tests

Custom Filtering Example

# Users can filter via sidebar widgets
# Example: Filter cars by price range and region

# In ui.py, the filter logic:
filtered = analyzer.data.copy()

if price_range:
    filtered = filtered[
        (filtered['price'] >= price_range[0]) & 
        (filtered['price'] <= price_range[1])
    ]

if selected_regions:
    filtered = filtered[filtered['dealer_region'].isin(selected_regions)]

if selected_companies:
    filtered = filtered[filtered['company'].isin(selected_companies)]

# Display and export
st.dataframe(filtered)
st.download_button(
    "Download CSV",
    filtered.to_csv(index=False),
    "filtered_sales.csv"
)

Common Analysis Patterns

Price Analysis by Category

# Average price by car company
company_prices = analyzer.data.groupby('company')['price'].mean().sort_values(ascending=False)
print(company_prices.head(10))

# Price by body style
body_prices = analyzer.data.groupby('body_style')['price'].agg(['mean', 'median', 'count'])
print(body_prices)

# Price by transmission type
trans_prices = analyzer.data.groupby('transmission')['price'].describe()
print(trans_prices)

Regional & Temporal Analysis

# Sales volume by region
regional_sales = analyzer.data['dealer_region'].value_counts()
print(regional_sales)

# Monthly revenue trend
analyzer.data['month'] = pd.to_datetime(analyzer.data['date']).dt.to_period('M')
monthly_revenue = analyzer.data.groupby('month')['price'].sum()
print(monthly_revenue)

# Year-over-year comparison
yearly_sales = analyzer.data.groupby('year').agg({
    'price': ['sum', 'mean', 'count']
})
print(yearly_sales)

Statistical Tests

from scipy import stats

# Compare prices: Automatic vs Manual transmission
auto_prices = analyzer.data[analyzer.data['transmission'] == 'Automatic']['price']
manual_prices = analyzer.data[analyzer.data['transmission'] == 'Manual']['price']

t_stat, p_value = stats.ttest_ind(auto_prices, manual_prices)
print(f"T-statistic: {t_stat:.4f}, P-value: {p_value:.4f}")

# Correlation between income and price
correlation = analyzer.data['annual_income'].corr(analyzer.data['price'])
print(f"Income-Price Correlation: {correlation:.4f}")

Configuration

File Paths

Default paths are defined in src/analysis.py:

# Customize data paths
analyzer = CarSalesAnalysis('custom_path/sales_data.csv')

# Custom output directory
analyzer.save_cleaned_data('custom_output/cleaned.csv')

# Figures directory
os.makedirs('custom_figures', exist_ok=True)
analyzer.plot_price_distribution(save_path='custom_figures/prices.png')

Streamlit Configuration

Create .streamlit/config.toml for dashboard customization:

[theme]
primaryColor = "#FF4B4B"
backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF"
secondaryBackgroundColor = "#F0F2F6"
textColor = "#262730"

[server]
port = 8501
headless = true
enableCORS = false

Running Full Pipeline Programmatically

from src.analysis import CarSalesAnalysis
import os

# Initialize
analyzer = CarSalesAnalysis('data/Car sales.csv')

# Create output directories
os.makedirs('outputs/figures', exist_ok=True)

# Save cleaned data
analyzer.save_cleaned_data('outputs/cleaned_data.csv')

# Generate all 15 analyses
analyses = [
    ('q1_price_dist.png', analyzer.plot_price_distribution),
    ('q2_monthly_trend.png', analyzer.plot_monthly_sales_trend),
    ('q3_regional_sales.png', analyzer.plot_sales_by_region),
    ('q4_gender_split.png', analyzer.plot_gender_distribution),
    ('q5_income_region.png', analyzer.plot_income_by_region),
    ('q6_income_price.png', analyzer.plot_income_vs_price),
    ('q7_company_prices.png', analyzer.plot_avg_price_by_company),
    ('q8_body_style.png', analyzer.plot_price_by_body_style),
    ('q9_transmission.png', analyzer.compare_transmission_prices),
    ('q10_colors.png', analyzer.plot_popular_colors),
    ('q11_heatmap.png', analyzer.plot_body_transmission_heatmap),
    ('q12_regression.png', analyzer.multiple_regression_analysis),
    ('q13_outliers.png', analyzer.detect_outliers_zscore),
    ('q14_dealer_prices.png', analyzer.plot_dealer_prices),
    ('q15_normality.png', analyzer.test_normality),
]

for filename, func in analyses:
    func(save_path=f'outputs/figures/{filename}')
    print(f"✓ Generated {filename}")

Troubleshooting

Missing Data Issues

# Check for missing values
missing = analyzer.data.isnull().sum()
print(missing[missing > 0])

# Handle missing values
analyzer.data = analyzer.data.dropna(subset=['price', 'year'])
analyzer.data['annual_income'].fillna(analyzer.data['annual_income'].median(), inplace=True)

Date Parsing Errors

# Ensure proper date format
analyzer.data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(analyzer.data['date'], errors='coerce')
analyzer.data = analyzer.data.dropna(subset=['date'])

Memory Issues with Large Datasets

# Load only required columns
usecols = ['price', 'company', 'body_style', 'dealer_region', 'year']
df = pd.read_csv('data/Car sales.csv', usecols=usecols)

# Use dtype optimization
df['price'] = df['price'].astype('float32')
df['year'] = df['year'].astype('int16')

Streamlit Port Conflicts

# Specify custom port
uv run streamlit run src/ui.py --server.port 8502

# Or in config
echo "[server]\nport = 8502" > .streamlit/config.toml
