Second Prompt:

"Provide more details on project 3 with a detailed step-by-step plan"

Response from ChatGPT:

Sure, here is a more detailed step-by-step plan for Project 3: Medical Appointment No-show Prediction.

Objective: Analyze data on medical appointments to identify factors that contribute to no-shows and build a predictive model to identify patients at risk of missing their appointments.

Data Source: Medical Appointment No Shows, available on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/joniarroba/noshowappointments

Step-by-Step Plan:

1. Download and import the data into Excel. The dataset includes information on over 100,000 medical appointments in Brazil, including patient demographics, appointment details, and whether or not the patient showed up for the appointment.
2. Clean and prepare the data. Remove any duplicates or irrelevant columns, and ensure all data is in the correct format (e.g. dates are formatted as dates).
3. Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA). Use pivot tables, charts, and graphs to understand the distribution of the data and identify any patterns or trends. For example, you could create pivot tables to analyze appointment no-shows by gender, age, or day of the week.
4. Identify potential factors that contribute to appointment no-shows. Based o the EDA, brainstorm potential factors that may be related to appointment no-shows, such as distance from the medical facility or appointment reminders.
5. Create new features. Use existing features to create new features that may be more informative in predicting appointment no-shows. For example, you could create a new feature that calculates the number of days between when the appointment was scheduled and when it took place.
6. Split the data into training and testing sets. Use 70% of the data to train the model, and save the remaining 30% for testing.
7. Build a predictive model. Use logistic regression to predict the probability that a patient will not show up for their appointment. Use the training data to train the model, and test the model on the testing data.
8. Evaluate the model. Use metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to evaluate the performance of the model. Adjust the model as needed, and re-evaluate until the model is satisfactory.
9. Make predictions on new data. Once the model is satisfactory, use it to make predictions on new data (i.e. patients who have not yet had an appointment). Use the model to identify patients who are at high risk of missing their appointment, and prioritize outreach efforts for those patients.
10. Make recommendations. Based o the analysis and model predictions, make recommendations for reducing appointment no-shows. For example, recommendations may include implementing appointment reminders or adjusting scheduling policies.

By completing this project, a junior data analyst will demonstrate proficiency in data cleaning, EDA, feature engineering, model building, model evaluation, and data-driven decision-making in the healthcare industry.

If there are any problems or mistakes in the step-by-step plan ChatGPT gave. You can let ChatGPT know with a prompt such as "Explain the "problem" in a short sentence."

For example "The column ChatGPT asked you to analyze does not exist".
