Regression Analysis of Crime Statistics
In this report, I analyze crime statistics for Boston in 1978 using Logistic Regression to classify neighborhoods as high crime or low crime. I find that the clearest indicator if a neighborhood is high crime is high air pollution measured by concentration of nitrogen oxides, which is caused by fossil fuel combustion.
