Abstract
Exploratory data analysis refers to the set of procedures for producing descriptive and
graphical summaries of the data. This analysis has been performed on MIMIC (Multi-parameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care) version 3 database. It is a relational database containing data related to intensive care unit patients at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical center and is a freely accessible data set utilized by researchers. This project provides a vital outlook of the data set which includes identification of any anomalies, check for assumptions, describing important variables, understanding relationship among variables, and frame hypotheses. The goal of this project is to conduct a pre-analysis of the database, which includes analysis of the database on the basis of variables of interest, before diving into deeper data analysis such as using machine learning or statistical modeling techniques and to make sure that data is relevant without any major problems to provide a valuable contribution towards further researches on the database.
