Project Proposal

Objective: Investigate historical Per-Capita Flu Outbreaks against the following possible datasets/drivers:

Weather influencers

Travel - Air

Travel - Highway

Vaccination History

Finding Data

Summary of Analysis

-Weather highly correlated to influenza incidents

-Vaccinations in 2015 seemed to be more effective than that of 2016

-Air travel during times of influenza spikes show that passenger inflow/outflow counts are close to even.

The team will bring data into the code folder. CSV files, if required will be stored in code/data.

Separate python files can contain exploration of each dataset. The team will review each others findings through by reviewing the code.
