HW 10

Select Features for a Scoring Formula   
Due Wed 10/1 at 3pm

Explore the mechanism of creating a scoring formula with the NHANES dataset. On your website create a web page for homework 10.  On that page put the following:

1. Select three of the health features in the NHANES dataset (BMI, Triglycerides, Sodium, Cholesterol, Glucose, or Iron) that can be used as building blocks for a scoring formula.  Describe the healthy ranges.

2. Create a table of at least 3 values and corresponding scores for each feature, assuming that larger values are more healthy.  For example, if one feature were waist size (which is not one of the options here), you might have:
           Waist Size   Score
               < 30              3
               30-37            2
               38-44           -1
               > 44             -3
