For my first personal project I decided to investigate if there are correlations between some mental disorders and music habits.
I found this dataset on Kaggle and it was realized by Catherine Rasgaitis who made an incredible job in collecting the data through a survey and then creating a beautiful notebook.
In the survey people were asked to answer some questions about their mental health, ranking if and how much they suffer of 4 mental disorders (anxiety, depression, insomnia and OCD), if they have any musical background, where they mostly listen to music, what kind of music they prefer, etc.
In this case I preferred to use RStudio, with a little help of Microsoft Excel, for cleaning and analyzing the dataset and also for creating the visualizations. I made use of RStudio for writing down the RMarkdown report that you can find here too.
The analysis follows two steps:
1) Investigating the survey respondents population so that we have a better idea of the context;
2) Searching for correlations between mental disorders and music which is the purpose of the entire project.
