Modeling

For this part of the project you will:

• Using the 2000 to 2010 template, calculate change in the MHV variable between 1990 and 2000.
• Pick a city and create a new dorling cartogram to visualize your data.
• Prepare descriptive statistics and chloropleth maps describing the MHV change variable.

This phase emphasizes the important work of:

• Creating new variables through variable transformations
• Exploratory and descriptive analysis
• Building basic models
• Preliminary hypothesis-testing

• Background Material

As reference, review the CRISP-DM project management checklist.

We are entering the fourth phase of the CRISP-DM Checklist on modeling.
