Correlation overview for the diabetes dataset used in the final statistical analysis

Final Statistical Analysis Submission

This final assessment uses a diabetes dataset to investigate factors associated with diabetes outcomes. The revised R analysis includes data preparation, exploratory visualisation, association tests, logistic regression, a decision tree and ten-fold cross-validation. The accompanying presentation will be linked here when it is uploaded.

Violin plot of daily new COVID-19 cases by state

Foundations in R and Data Exploration

Units 1–4 established my R workflow through data import, descriptive summaries and visualisation. I worked with survey and Indian COVID-19 data, created histograms, density, box and violin plots, recoded case categories, and explored probability through the birthday problem.

Distribution of systolic blood pressure by sex

Seminar Work, Visualisation and Tests

Seminar submissions in Units 6 and 7, followed by Unit 8 activities, developed practical analytical skills. I used density, box, strip and jitter plots and applied ANOVA, Tukey, t-test, Wilcoxon and variance checks to investigate differences between groups.

Perceived safety when walking alone after dark by sex

Crime Survey Analysis

Unit 9 used Crime Survey for England and Wales data to explore perceived safety across groups. I created comparative charts, worked with contingency tables and proportions, and applied chi-square testing to investigate associations.

Map of total COVID-19 records by state in India

COVID-19 Case Analysis

A second Unit 9 investigation returned to Indian COVID-19 records. I grouped cases by state and severity, compared recovery patterns, and joined the data to a state boundary file to map the distribution of records.

Scatter plot and regression line for diastolic and systolic blood pressure

Correlation and Regression

Units 10 and 11 progressed to normality checks, Pearson and Spearman correlation, linear regression, confidence intervals, residual diagnostics and model interpretation using health and COVID-19 data.

Seminars, Discussions and Practice

The course repository also holds seminar submissions and discussion work completed throughout the module. Its browser-based study tool generates randomised practice questions covering descriptive statistics, probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, matrices and boxplots.
