About the project
The Life Expectancy (WHO) dataset on Kaggle was created by Kumar Rajarshi. It contains data on life expectancy, health factors, and economic factors for 193 countries from 2000 to 2015. The goal of the project is to use this data to study the factors that influence life expectancy and to develop models that can predict life expectancy.
Goal of the project
The goal of the project is to use statistical analysis to discover factors influencing life expectancy. The specific objectives of the project are to:
- Identify the most important factors that influence life expectancy.
- Develop models that can predict life expectancy.
- Use the models to identify countries that are at risk of having low life expectancy.

- Country: The name of the country.
