In this exercise the Houses of Game of Thrones will be mentioned

Introduction

In our analysis of the game of thrones dataset, we compare screentime and number of starred episodes for all characters. We then label all characters with a high screentime (top 10).

Figure 1 shows the coat of arms of house Arryn. And the scatterplot is shown in Figure 3, see Section 2.
