Fatal Police Shooting in the United States

A visual and statistical analysis exploring the data of killings that took place at the hands of police officers in the United States from the beginning of 2015 to February 2017. In this project, I explored the rate of mental illness and racial bias among fatal police shootings and performed hypothesis testing. Later, I tried grouping similar cases with dimensionality reduction and clustering. And finally, I built a tree-based machine learning model to classify the race of the victim.
