Assignment Description
Many people forage for mushrooms and sell them to restaurants or use them for their
own consumption. These are experts who know their mushroom. However, as a novice,
it is important to be able to spot a poisonous mushroom.
In this assignment, you will use the code and data set provided to mine the data using
the methods presented in this module. You will document in a report the results of each
step of the mining process, analyze and interpret the results. Suggest the characteristics
to use when determining if a mushroom is safe to eat. Make recommendations for
additional analysis and variables to examine to build other classifications such as use
of the mushrooms that are not poisonous.

Instructions
Your report should include the following:
All programming done in R.
Code walk through: in this section provide a step by step explanation of how the code
is interacting with and/or transforming the data. Provide examples from the output to
support your explanations.
Analysis: Based on the output, analyze the data and the relationships revealed about the
variables of interest. Explains the insights provided by the output. Use visualizations to
support your analysis.
Interpretation and Recommendations: Interpret the results of your analysis and explain
what the results mean for the data owner. Provide recommendations for actions to be
taken based on your interpretation. Support those with the data. Explain why and what
explicit variables you suggest incorporating. For example, median income by city and
state from the census.gov website might be useful for examining home ownership.
Your report should be a 5 pages Word document. Include an appendix of visualizations
and code segments as needed. The report format should follow APA formatting (12pt,
