How to use the dataset

This dataset contains important insight on the infant and neonatal mortality rate in the United States between 1915 to 2013. As such, it can be used to analyze trends in infant and neonatal mortality over time as well as draw comparisons between different states or regions.

Before you start diving into this data set, here are a few useful tips for exploring its contents:

• Explore the columns: First, get familiar with the columns of this data set by reviewing their descriptions listed above; these will help you understand what each column offers so that you can make informed decisions when analyzing the data.
• Determine which level of geography makes sense: Will your analysis focus on state-level data or looking at national trends? Make sure to select only those points relevant to your project to avoid getting overwhelmed with unnecessary information.
• Choose a metric for measuring progress: Decide on your metrics for success and use those values as benchmark points when exploring information from this dataset . For example, if tracking changes over time is important in your analysis then choose “Year” from this dataset’s available fields and start sorting by that value within each geographical area of interest (for example states). Further utilize statistical measures such as averages or medians from “Mortality Rate” field to determine progress/regress in each segment over time periods of interests (again choosing year values).
• Prioritize visualization techniques appropriately: Upon gathering all needed information then focus on how best present it – using tables or graphs? Tables offer a great way to track details while visuals like charts & maps provide insights into larger trajectories that might not be clear through tables alone; ensuring both types are part of your analysis will ensure maximum clarity & accuracywith presentation yielding maximum impact & understanding among target audiences!
