Created as part of a project for the Coursera course ‘Reproducible Research’ by Aneev K This is an analysis of data concerning weather events from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) storm database. It seeks to find the types of events that have historically been most harmful to population health (in terms of fatalities and injuries), and those that have had the greatest economic consequences (in terms of property and crop damage).
