Observations

● Most variables exhibit a relatively uniform distribution.  ● 'TreatmentCost' shows a skewed distribution, with most values clustered at the lower end.
● Absence of extreme outliers in the data.
● Hospital Visits and Medication Count: A moderate correlation suggests that more hospital visits might correlate with a higher medication count.
● Age Distribution: Appears to be evenly distributed, suggesting a diverse patient demographic.
● Treatment Cost: Skewed towards lower costs, indicating that most treatments are not highly expensive.
● Patient Satisfaction: Shows a broad distribution, which could be influenced by various factors such as treatment cost, recovery rate, etc.

Hypotheses for Further Investigation

● Age and Patient Satisfaction: Is there a significant correlation between age and patient satisfaction? Older patients might have different satisfaction levels due to varied healthcare needs.
● Chronic Disease and Healthcare Costs: Do patients with chronic diseases incur higher treatment costs and hospital visits?
● Recovery Rate and Medication Count: Does a higher medication count lead to a better recovery rate, and how does it impact patient satisfaction?

Data Modeling and Analysis

● Test these hypotheses using statistical methods and machine learning models.
● Use regression analysis to understand the impact of various factors on patient satisfaction and treatment cost.
● Employ classification models to predict patient outcomes based on their profiles.

Action plan

● Begin with feature selection and engineering based on the hypotheses.
● Select and train appropriate models for each hypothesis.
● Evaluate the models and interpret the results to generate insights.

Hypothesis 1 Age and Patient Satisfaction

Linear Regression with Target Variable: Patient SatisfactionFeature: AgeEvaluation Metrics: Mean Squared Error (MSE): 2.04 indicates the average squared difference between the predicted and actual values.
R² Score: -0.007 suggests that the model does not effectively explain the variance in patient satisfaction based on age alone.
Summary
There is no significant linear relationship between age and patient satisfaction based on this model.
This suggests that patient satisfaction might be influenced by factors other than age, or the relationship might be non-linear.

Hypothesis 2 Chronic Disease and Healthcare Costs

Linear Regression with Target Variable: Treatment CostFeature: Chronic DiseaseEvaluation Metrics:
Mean Squared Error (MSE): 1.13R² Score: -0.003 suggests that the model does not effectively explain the variance in patient satisfaction based on age alone.
SummaryThere is no significant linear relationship between the presence of chronic diseases and healthcare costs based on this model.
This indicates that other factors might play a more significant role in determining treatment costs.

Hypothesis 3 Recovery Rate and Medication Count

Linear Regression with Target Variable: Recovery RateFeature: Medication CountEvaluation Metrics: Mean Squared Error (MSE): 0.68R² Score: -0.00048 suggests that the model does not effectively explain the variance in patient satisfaction based on age alone.
SummaryThere is no significant linear relationship between medication count and recovery rate based on this model.
This indicates that the recovery rate might be influenced by a combination of factors, and a linear model using only medication count is not sufficient to predict recovery rates.

Overall Insights and Recommendations:

● The linear regression models used to test the hypotheses indicate that single variables (age, chronic disease presence, medication count) do not significantly explain the variances in patient satisfaction, treatment costs, and recovery rates.
● This suggests the need for more complex models that can account for multiple factors and their interactions.
● Further analysis could involve using more sophisticated machine learning techniques like decision trees, random forests, or neural networks, which can capture non-linear relationships and interactions between multiple variables.
