This is a project I worked on with a group in intro to data science. The RMD file shows our process to coming up with the best model, there are comments with every step I took. You can use the csv file attached to run the RMD file and see all the work produced.
General Abstract: We were tasked to do an analysis to create a predictive model to see if criminals would recidivise. We ended up creating two models: A logistic regressiona and a random forest. Both were comparable in predicting a testing dataset but the forest model definetly overfit the training dataset more so than the logistic regression.
