Apply logistic regression to categorize whether a county had high mortality rate due to contamination

1. Import the necessary packages to read in the data, plot, and create a logistic regression model



In [1]:

    
import pandas as pd
%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

2. Read in the hanford.csv file in the `data/` folder



In [16]:

    
df = pd.read_csv("hanford.csv")
df.head()









    Out[16]:






  
    
      
      County
      Exposure
      Mortality
    
  
  
    
      0
      Umatilla
      2.49
      147.1
    
    
      1
      Morrow
      2.57
      130.1
    
    
      2
      Gilliam
      3.41
      129.9
    
    
      3
      Sherman
      1.25
      113.5
    
    
      4
      Wasco
      1.62
      137.5

3. Calculate the basic descriptive statistics on the data



In [11]:

    
df.describe()

4. Find a reasonable threshold to say exposure is high and recode the data



In [15]:

    
df.std()









    Out[15]:





Exposure      3.491192
Mortality    34.791346
dtype: float64



In [ ]:

    
exp_std = 3.491192

6. Predict whether the mortality rate (Cancer per 100,000 man years) will be high at an exposure level of 50
