# Shanghai License Plate Applicants

There seems to be a clear sudden growth in the number of applicants.
Note: according to [this discussion on
Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/bogof666/shanghai-car-license-plate-auction-price/discussion/73140),
the record for 2008-02 is missing because the license plates for January and
Feburary were auctioned off simultaneously in January. As this represents an
uneven measurement and a missing value, we choose to split the observation for
January and February 2008 in two, dividing the amount equally between the
months. An alternative would be to introduce a missing value in 2008-02, but
since many of the algorithms we wish to evaluate are not able to handle
missing values (and any imputation method would be incorrect), we believe this
is a reasonable way to deal with this issue.
To obtain the ``shanghai_license.json`` file from the
``Shanghai_license_plate_price_-_Sheet3.csv`` file, simply run:
```
$ python convert.py Shanghai_license_plate_price_-_Sheet3.csv shanghai_license.json
```
