Data Science to Improve Healthcare

So I am extremely interested in using healthcare data to improve health outcomes, but unfortunately healthcare data can be hard to come by. But, lucky for us, a great group of people have put together a demo data set of ICU data that is open to the public! The data set is called the MIMIC II Demo. The main page for these data is here.

Click here to see my introduction to using these data. Hopefully it can help some better understand healthcare data.

Introduction to Python for Data Mining

Today I gave a quick introduction to python for data mining for one of Dr. Ghosh’s classes. I decided to post it on my blog so the class could find it online and maybe it will also help others. See my tutorial here.
