11th October

I realized that to understand police shootings, we need more than just one year of data. So I went to the Washington post and downloaded data from 2015 to 2023.

After getting enough data. I reviewed how 2023 is performing compared to last year  data and I found out that till now there have been 708 police killing while 2022 being the highest with total of 1096.

2nd October

Outliers

Found outliers in all the data and removed them

Later got to know that outliers are not required to be removed. These are the measures of diabetes percentage in a country and there shouldn’t be any country with abnormal results.

So will have to look other metrices

29th September

A couple of things performed

  • Found out the top 20 county who has diabetes physical inactivity and obesity and it seems like none of them match each other i.e. highest of each parameter is different from each other.
  • Also plotted the graph and performed linear regression with obesity as the independent variable and diabetes as the dependent variable and got an r-square value of 0.04, which is too low to predict.
  • Maybe the previous year’s data might show something.
