Developing Actionable Information to Answer Health-Related Questions Using R Margaret Kilduff

Answering health-related questions requires data science (data and a proof) to develop actionable information. Actionable information is information that can be used reliably to make decisions and do work. This book details how actionable information can be created using R and datasets. The book uses publicly available datasets produced by government agencies (e.g., CDC, NIH, CMS). The book reduces the barriers to entry for those wishing to do health-related research.
