About

This project attempts to find a relation between diet and mental health. International data sets are used to calculate the correlation between dier and depression. It also attempts to use other known factors impacting mental health to compare with diet. This is done using Jupyter notebooks available in the Notebooks directory. Instructions for replication should be available in the nootbooks.

Data Sets

All datasets used can be found on Google Drive.

Raw Data

The following links were used to produce the raw data.

• https://apps.who.int/nha/database/Select/Indicators/en
  
• http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data
  
• https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
  
• https://ourworldindata.org/mental-health

Raw data files are also available in the "Raw Data" directory.

Clean Data

The processed data can be found in the "Processed Data" directory.

Dependencies

Pandas is used for data set processing:
import pandas as pd

Pycountry is used for extracting the ISO code from country names, this helps merge differing country names from different datasets:
import pycountry

Plotly is used for data visualization:
import plotly.express as px

Seasborn is used as a correlation data visualization library:
import seaborn

Numpy is used for list and matrix manipulation:
import numpy as np

Matplotlib is used for creating plots:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Process

Feel free to either clone this repository locally or to save the notebooks. This should ideally be in a Jupyter environment, but it is also possible to use other platforms such as Google Collaboration or Visual Studio Code. The environment should have the dependencies listed above. The repository also includes the data files, both raw and processed, used for the project. The Notebooks avialable are divided in to two directories, "Data Analysis" and "Data Preperation".

1. We start by generating all of the raw data using the sources provided in the "Raw Data" section. It's also possible to use the raw data files available in our "Raw Data" directory.

2. The notebooks contain in-line instructions to walk the user through the notebook process. Start by using the Data Preperation notebooks to prepare the processed data. The results produced should be identical to the results in the "Processed Data" directory.

3. Save the processed data into the appropriate directory. Note: the "Data Analysis" notebooks rely on the file structure of this repository to find the appropriate files. By saving the processed data elsewhere or modifying the file structure it is likely that the code will need to be altered.

4. Run the "Data Analysis" notebooks with the appropriate processed data files. This should generate the same results reported in our project.
