NYS Hospital Discharges

This is my final project for BIOS611 - Introduction to Data Science. This analysis uses public, de-identified New York State hospital inpatient discharge data from 2022. Data are from https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Hospital-Inpatient-Discharges-SPARCS-De-Identified/5dtw-tffi/about_data

This Docker container was built on an M2 Mac.

Getting Started

To clone this repository, run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/julmul/BIOS611.git

Once this is complete, navigate to the directory on your computer using cd BIOS611.

This project uses Git LFS due to the large size of the hospital data set. Ensure you have Git LFS installed. Once you have navigated to the project directory, type git lfs pull into your terminal to retrieve the source data.

Building the Docker Container

To access this repository, you must have Docker installed. Once Docker is installed, run ./start.sh from your terminal to build the container.

Accessing the Report

Once the container is built, open your browser and navigate to localhost:8787, then log in using the username rstudio and the password yourpassword. This will open RStudio.

To build the final report, type make report.pdf in the terminal within RStudio.
