Homework 1
Compile a set of two health science case-studies complete with motivating questions and datasets.
Each case-study should include the following components:
- Title: Brief but descriptive case-study title
- Overview: A brief summary of the case-study
- Driving Challenges: List a set of 3-5 questions that have clear
healthcare applications that might be addressed, or at least examined by,
using the dataset
- Meta-data: Define all data elements, describe the dataset
- Data: Include the complete dataset. It could be observational,
derived, or simulated data. It should be somewhat interesting (e.g.,
include at least 5 variables, one or more time-points and represent
30 + cases/subjects/instances, hopefully, hundreds of cases)
- Provenance: Include some references, URLs, PMCIDs, comments,
etc. describing the provenance of these data
Please upload all cases on Canvas and give them appropriate name providing a clue
to the type of data/study this case presents. When you submit your
HW electronically (on Canvas) please include the appropriate HW header
and reference (by direct URL) the appropriate case-studies you uploaded.
