Project2_Investigate_No-Show_Appointments_Dataset

Overview of the No-Show Appointments dataset

This dataset collects information from 100k medical appointments in Brazil and is focused on the question of whether or not patients show up for their appointment. A number of characteristics about the patient are included in each row.

  • ‘ScheduledDay’ tells us on what day the patient set up their appointment.
  • ‘Neighborhood’ indicates the location of the hospital.
  • ‘Scholarship’ indicates whether or not the patient is enrolled in Brasilian welfare program Bolsa Família.
  • Be careful about the encoding of the last column: it says ‘No’ if the patient showed up to their appointment, and ‘Yes’ if they did not show up.
