  • Gun_deaths_in_the_US.html -> an HTML report of the analysis generated through r-markdown that shows several visualizations and highlights some findings trhough them
  • Gun_deaths_in_the_US.rmd -> an R-Markdown document that contains the code to actually carry out the analysis
  • fiveThirtyEight_script_for_CDC_Mortality_Data.R -> an R script obtained through fiveTiretyEight to download, clean and parse data from the CDC's Multiple Cause of Death datafile
