OLS Regression of Baha'i Cancer Mortality Rates from 2013-2017 in the Four Corner States by County

OLS Regression of Baha'i Cancer Mortality Rates from 2013-2017 in the Four Corner States by County

This is a map of the residuals and other information pertaining to an OLS Regression between cancer mortality rates and Baha'i prevalence.

This map assigns each county a color based on whether the actual values were higher or lower compared to the predicted values of the OLS Regression. The dark red areas refer to areas where the observed values were larger than the predicted values and the light red areas are areas where the observed values were smaller than the predicted values.

The other information illustrates the basics behind and OLS Regression and the main takeaways from the OLS report generated.
