o Cleaned and pre-processed data by Creating Box plots, Q-Q plots and Histograms to note and
remove outliers, features etc.
o Analysed the relation of Diabetes, Inactivity and Obesity with ‘Correlation Analysis’
o Analysed the impact of Economic factors, Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), Physical
environment and Healthcare on Diabetes, Inactivity and Obesity by conducting ‘Multiple
Linear Regression’ between the relevant features.

• The Toll of Police Shootings in the United States (Analysis of ‘Fatal Police Shootings in the United
States’ by the Washington Post)
o Using Python, I analyzed the relations of mental Illness, Racial Disparities, Presence of
Body camera and certain clusters of population (with respect to age, race, economic
standing, etc.) with the occurrence of fatal police shootings in the US.
o Techniques used included Generalized Linear Regression Models, Cluster analysis,
Correlation analysis, Hypothetical Testing, and Logistic Regression.
