Chapter 16: Case Study 2 – Predicting COVID-19 Hospitalizations

This chapter is going to provide an excellent learning opportunity to perform a predictive analysis from scratch. By the end of this chapter, you will have learned a valuable lesson about preprocessing. We will take the COVID-19 pandemic as an example. This is a good case study because there is lots of data available about different aspects of the pandemic such as covid hospitalizations, cases, deaths, and vaccinations.
