Abstract
The primary objective of this thesis is to express the importance of data analysis through the reduction and calibration techniques throughout observational radio astronomy. I use a Python data pipeline written by my co-supervisor to explore data filtration techniques and data visualization methods. I do not explore every aspect of the pipeline but attempt to understand and convey all aspects I do cover.
