My project was a decision tree analysis of shootings in the Philadelphia area, and what data is relevant to whether or not a shooting will turn out to be fatal. The data represented the importance of where the individual received the wound. It can be used for agencies such as Philadelphia PD to adjust their incident fatality rate. Data like this is useful to analyze because firearm-related deaths are one of the leading problems in the city and this can be a step in the right direction; overall understanding of crime statistics in the city can lead to the future of non-violence.
