This week I’ve been focusing on locational statistics. Using the longitude and latitude, I plotted each data point on a US map. I am also making a heatmap by county and state since that will be easier for me to read than my current plot.
For next week, I’ve found an external dataset containing educational data for each county in the US. This information may correlate to some of the features of the victims such as race or mental disability status. I also found Hugo’s idea of political affiliation to be very interesting and want to see if red states or states with concealed carry laws have a higher rate of police shootings involving victims armed with some kind of firearm.
