Project Overview

The primary goal of this analysis was to identify key factors influencing the weight of a newborn. By leveraging statistical tests and regression models in R, I examined a dataset containing various maternal health metrics and habits.

Key Findings

The analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between maternal smoking and lower birth weight. Other factors such as maternal age and height also showed an impact. The visualization above graphically represents the relationship between these variables.

Tools Used

  • R (for statistical analysis and modeling)
  • ggplot2 (for data visualization)
