doing Real Data Analysis on Real Data and there are zero stakes whatsoever (it's a personal project im doing For Experience) but this is so scary because what if i'm doing it wrong. like am i allowed to fill in missing values from other info?? why were they missing in the first place if everything needed to calculate them is right there????

#math brain screaming in protest at all the uncertainty #THERE MUST BE SOME REASON IT'S MISSING. RIGHT???#probably not. probably the reason is 'someone made a small mistake somewhere'#but how am i supposed to know when i dont have the data collection methodology... maybe theres a good reason im missing... terrifying #whenever i get into the weeds on something like this i do feel like that one post about math research vs science research though alhgdslkms #have we proved that heat exists? have we proved that i exist?? that you exist???#like. currently i am that dog going AWAUWAUWAU about being asked to go into a swimming pool #i guess i should come up with a formula for these missing values & check that it already applies to all the complete rows #adventures in programming #personal
