A .NET console application that contains a couple of scripts that does analysis on student records

Student Records

This is a .NET console project containing F# scripts that does basic descriptive analysis over a couple of datasets (student records).

The datasets represent variations of student records some of which includes missing and unclean data.

Student Records demonstrates the scripting capabilities of the F# language which harnesses the incredible perfomance of the .NET runtime and handles domain modeling and data transformations quite efficiently with its dynamic suite of data structures and sound type system.

How to Run Student Records

The only prerequisite is to have the .NET 8 SDK installed on your machine.

Several scripts are written against particular datasets in the Samples directory.

• Clone this repository
• Ensure you change directory to the root of the Student Records directory

To run the script for the well-formed student records:

• Uncomment the open Records import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the first EntryPoint attribute and the commented out main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the later EntryPoint attribute and the main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/StudentScores.csv"

To run the script for the student records with missing data:

• Uncomment the open MissingData import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the first EntryPoint attribute and the commented out main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the later EntryPoint attribute and the main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/StudentScoresNA.csv"

To run the script for the student records with data of students that are absent/excused:

• Uncomment the open AE import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the first EntryPoint attribute and the commented out main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the later EntryPoint attribute and the main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/StudentScoresAE.csv"

To run the script for the student records with numeric school codes:

• Uncomment the open Dictionary import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the later EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the first EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/SchoolCodes.csv" "Samples/StudentScoresSchool.csv"

To run the script for the student records with alphabetic school codes:

• Change line 197 in Dictionary.fs to |> Array.map (Student.fromStringAlpha (SchoolCodeAlpha.load schoolCodeFilePath))
• Uncomment the open Dictionary import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the later EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the first EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/SchoolCodesAlpha.csv" "Samples/StudentScoresSchoolAlphaCodes.csv"

To run the script for the student records with extra school codes:

• Uncomment the open Dictionary import in Program.fs
• Uncomment the later EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Comment out the first EntryPoint attribute and the following main function in Program.fs
• Run the following command in the terminal

dotnet run "Samples/SchoolCodesAlpha.csv" "Samples/StudentScoresSchoolExtraCodes.csv"
