Ok, now please find a time lagged coefficient for the last time the fatality encountered a black cat, broke a mirror, or walked under a ladder.
jk jk lol, this is good work!
EDIT: Ok, more seriously, if you still have this all open in front of you... could you clump together everything else into an 'other' line, and plot that too?
I left the other causes off the 1-15 groups, because they account for almost all of those deaths. There are 65 causes in that "other" category.
That's actually quite frightening to see how prevalent cancer and heart disease are after like 40.
Yeah, 40 seems to be the age where all the systems start breaking down. Cancer & heart disease are the big ones & most obvious, but the trend seems similar for most of the non-injury causes. It looks like it makes for waves, like if drugs & guns don't kill you by 40, then cancer; if cancer doesn't kill you by 70, then heart disease; if heart disease doesn't kill you, then Alzheimers & cerebrovascular...
Interesting.
Thank you!
EDIT:
Also... probably archive your data set there, locally.
CDC is currently being purged, couldn't hurt to keep a copy of real data before they get around to doctoring it.
