MATLAB DATA ANALYSIS
Introduction to MATLAB Class
Overview:
This project was aimed at discovering a relationship between the prevalence of diabetes and healthcare using a given data set working in a group of 3. We first scrubbed the data by eliminating all insufficient and repeated data. We then used Machine Learning through MATLAB to discover a relationship and write about what we found.
Coding/Results:
I decided to take charge of the programming aspect of the project while the rest of my group researched the background of diabetes in healthcare. I first scrubbed the data set to filter out anything that didn’t have to do with diabetes as well as eliminating repeated or insufficient data points. We then decided as a group to generalize the data to be based on each state, so I grouped the data points by states. We then used the Machine Learning Toolbox Regression to predict the percentage of people with diabetes in a given area based on the percentage of people that lack health insurance.
