  1. The report overall used a lot of visualizations to summarize/support their arguments, which are easy to follow.
  2. Section 3 has a very detailed explanation of the models they are using and why they are using these models.
  3. I like the practical meaning of this project. It is really useful and intriguing.

Dislikes:

  1. At the beginning of the report, authors mentioned that they picked however many variables from the whole dataset through some analysis, yet they did not include the analysis, which I think is a really essential part of the preliminary analysis. Same reason for the region division. Why is it a good idea to divide Manhattan into 10 regions? What are those 10 regions? Are they purely districts based on geography or is there any specific reason for their division? If they simply group zip codes by geography, are they losing any important information within those regions?
  2. Overall, I was almost a bit confused when I was reading the report. The report has a clear layout, but it would be nice if they could have a conclusion part, especially for the models comparison.

Thank you for your review! For your 1st comment: it is a good idea for us to draw a map of the 10 zones. We divided the 10 zones according to NYC website, which we should mention more clearly in the report. Below is the link: https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/cancer/registry/appendix/neighborhoods.htm

For your 2nd comment: we actually have a conclusion part in Section 5, but we would consider adding a model comparison part as you mentioned.
