This week, I have been learning about randomness and exploring how I can perform predictive analysis for the next year using the provided data. I am also considering the following problem statements:

1. Identify the most frequently involved groups or organizations in protests.

2. Create a heatmap to visualize the intensity of protests across different counties and states.

3. Determine which counties and states have the highest number of protests.

4. Analyze the trend of protests over the years to see whether they are increasing or decreasing.

 

This week, we looked at two different datasets that we will work on in the next few weeks. I focused on understanding the data and thinking of questions for my analysis.

I also learned about clustering, especially K-Means clustering. This method helps find patterns and group similar data points. Knowing K-Means will help me organize the data better in my analysis.

Next, I will improve my research questions and see how clustering can help me find useful insights from the data.

I am working on my code and documentation for my report. It focuses on the coding process and methods used in my analysis. I am explaining the steps clearly to make the report easy to understand. My goal is to ensure accurate and well documented Findings.

This week, I focused on data collection and data cleaning, ensuring that my dataset is well-structured and ready for analysis. With this phase completed, I am now shifting my focus to the methodology section of my report, where I will outline the approach and techniques I will use for analysis.

I am analyzing the correlation between unemployment and crime rates across U.S. states. So far, I have collected the data, imported it into Mathematica, and explored various built-in functions.

The best thing I get to know this week is Mathematica Software which I will going to explore furthermore and I will try to use in my report. I am still searching for the state’s unemployment data for the correlation between unemployment and crime rates.

In  Class there were different questions about the data set few observations are about the rate of the women killed vs men killed in the shooting because of the mental illness and about the location like longitude and latitude. Most of the questions were similar but interesting.

Discussed about Course Structure and assessment and weekly work journal. Create word press site. Downloaded the data which would be using for first seven week of the semester from the Washington post which contains information about police shooting in United States.
