Project 2 Journal

28 March (4 hours)

• Updated my journal to show progress over the last two weeks

• Thought of some ideas for my second project

• Unsure if I want to continue with my current project, because I am interested in it I just don't know how to improve upon it in a way that will take me the entire rest of the semester

  • The survival data gives the ages of the patient and the survival - as suggested during my presentation I could have many models showing up at the same time sorted by # of days survived

    • What would the use of this be?

    • Limit on how much of analysis I can do given that it will probably involve machine learning techniques/medical knowledge far beyond mine

• Other ideas:

  • Visualizing tumours in another way 

    • https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46527235 --> this looks very cool!

  • Visualizing organelles in a cell

  • Interested in point cloud data - any medical applications????
