In this repository, we explore the use of BRFSS dataset for descriptive analysis.

According to the CDC, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for people of most races in the US. Our ML project leads to a better understanding of how we can predict heart disease.

Possible projects on Behavioral Machine Learning

This project aims to compare traditional Machine Learning methods for tabular data classification, such as Ensemble methods, Decision Trees, and Naive Bayes, with NLP classification methods like Multinomial Naive Bayes, RNNs, and Transformers. We are utilizing survey data from the CDC via the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
