Live Weather Dashboard
Live Weather Dashboard
A web-based application that visualizes real-time and historical weather data for any US county. It retrieves data from OpenWeather API and presents it through an interactive dashboard using Dash App in Python. The dashboard, hosted on Render, can be accessed here.
Visual Stimuli and Neural Activity in Mice
Visual Stimuli and Neural Activity in Mice
In this project, the impact of visual stimuli on neural activity in mice's visual cortex was analyzed using data from Steinmetz et al. (2019). Findings revealed an interactive effect between stimuli and neural activity. A predictive model was built achieving 85% sensitivity and 35% specificity, suggesting further research with more data and features. A detailed write-up can be found here.
Identifying Age-Related Conditions
Identifying Age-Related Conditions
Health characteristics were used to predict age-related conditions, employing logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost classifiers, resulting in models with 85%-95% sensitivity and specificity scores. This work demonstrates the potential of machine learning in diagnosing age-related conditions, potentially reducing the need for invasive tests.
