🧪 Exploratory Data Analysis on Emergency Department Dataset 📊 Project Overview This repository presents a comprehensive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) pipeline conducted on an emergency department dataset. The analysis emphasizes data quality, distribution patterns, statistical relationships, and key operational metrics such as ED visits, diagnoses, and hospital attributes. Visualizations are used extensively to uncover trends and anomalies that can aid strategic decision-making in healthcare settings.

🏁 How to Run
- Prerequisites Ensure the following libraries are installed:
bash Copy Edit pip install pandas numpy matplotlib seaborn plotly scipy 2. Clone the Repository bash Copy Edit git clone https://github.com/your-username/emergency-department-eda.git cd emergency-department-eda 3. Update File Path Update the dataset path in project.py:
python Copy Edit file_path = "C:/Users/hp/Desktop/python_dataset.csv" Replace with your actual CSV file path or place the CSV in the project directory and update the relative path accordingly.
- Run the Script bash Copy Edit python project.py All plots will be saved to the eda_plots/ directory and a summary will be logged in eda_summary.txt.

📌 Notes Script includes automatic directory creation for plot storage.
Outliers are capped (not removed) to preserve dataset size.
Categorical variables are explored using count plots and cross-tabulations.
