Road Accidents in the UK (Analysis and Visualization)

Analysis of road accidents is crucial to understand the factors involved and their impact. Accidents usually involve multiple variables like time, weather conditions, age of driver, etc. and hence it is challenging to analyze the data. To solve this problem, we use Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) to first, filter out the most number of variables which can be visualized effectively in two dimensions and then study the correlations among these variables in a two dimensional scatter plot. Other variables, for which MCA cannot capture ample variance in the projected dimensions, we use hypothesis testing and time series analysis for the study.
