Introduction

This apps is about an analysis of suicide rates and its correlation with few factors below.

  1. Gross Domestic Product
  2. Human Development Index
  3. Gini Index
  4. Temperature

Data gathered from 2006 - 2015. All datasets obtained from :

  1. https://www.kaggle.com/russellyates88/suicide-rates-overview-1985-to-2016

  2. http://hdr.undp.org/en/indicators/137506.

Description

We would like to investigate the factor(s) that contribute to suicide.

Once relevant data collected, we proceed with cleaning. This stage include filtering, imputation, remove duplicate values and etc. Once data is cleaned, we proceed with analyzing the data.

Once data is cleaned, we proceed with analyzing the data. We use Tukey - ANOVA analysis, which is an analysis tool used in statistics that could help us to check if the means of two or more groups are significantly different from each other.

From the algorithm, we can see the trends of suicide for each country and factor(s) contribute to it.

App Description

The app will have three main tabs labelled as Country View, Comparison View and Correlation.

Using Country View tab, we should be able to display suicide rate for each country based on year, age range and sex.

From Comparison View tab, we can show a comparison between country's suicide rate by year.Tukey-Anove test result is displayed on the right side of page.

Using Correlation tab, we can explore global correlations between suicide rates to several financial and climate factors.

Experience While Doing The Project

  1. Good for data visualization
  2. Fast Tukey-Anova result provided

There are some difficulties we encounter during the project:

  1. Different availability of time for each group member
  2. Lack of expertise in the R programming and not able to run some of the codings
  3. Time consuming for cleaning the data and understand the coding
