Exploring Human Development Index
Completion requirements
Download data on Human Development. The data was collected by the World Bank, we added data about major religions, the geographical coordinates and continent.
- Use Select Columns to set the Continent as a target.
- Create a classification tree that tries to predict the continent of a country from the data. Play with the settings of the tree widget to get a tree of a reasonable size.
- Interpret the tree. What is typical for each continent? Does it make sense? (=Does it match our stereotypes? :)
- Now try the same with religions: can you guess the majority religion from other data?
- Based on the tree I've got, it seems that being a muslim increases your risk of dying of tuberculosis. Is it because of something in islam religion? Or is there perhaps another explanation?
