Analysis code for the Scientific Data paper "Hypertension and Diabetes Patients' Registry in Ethiopia: A Dataset from Selected Health Centres in Addis Ababa"
# Dataset Analysis
1. Cleaning
We started the cleaning process by identifying any duplicate entries in the dataset. We also corrected any errors in
the dataset, such as missing or incorrect values. We identified
and removed duplicate entries, we used the Z-Score methodology correct any deviations within the dataset.
2. Normality Assessment
To assess the normality of our data distribution. This plot helped us visualize whether the data follows a normal
distribution or not.
3. Statistical hypothesis test
We employed the Student t-test to compare means and the Kolmogorov Smirnov two-sample test to assess the similarity of
the distributions between the different columns of our dataset, with the aim of investigating their potential
relationships.
4. Correlation Analysis
We examined the correlation between T2D (Type 2 Diabetes) and HTN (Hypertension) conditions in the dataset.
We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to measure the strength of the linear relationship between these two
variables. We also plotted a scatter plot to visualize the correlation between these two variables.
5. Visualisation
We created plots to visually represent the correlation and observations within our data.
We aimed to gain insights into the relationships between different variables and any patterns or trends that might be
present.
6. Data Mining:
We extracted abstracts of publications from PubMed database that contain datasets with T2D and HTN conditions. We
then applied a list of regular expressions (patterns) to facilitate the automatic extraction
of the number of participants used in several studies from a collection of text abstracts. By including various synonyms
for the term 'participants', such as 'subjects', 'patients', 'individuals', and others, the regular expressions are
intended to match a wide range of possible strings within the text that represent the number of participants in each
study. By automating this process, the code aimed to save time and effort compa …
