Progress till date:

- Obtained a data set that contains food items from various cuisines
- The data is structured and contains the nutrient information in detail
- Cleaned the data set and categorized the variables to be analysed
- Developed a sample survey form that would help to ascertain the taste preferences among people
- Carried out statistical analysis on the data set and noted down outliers, variance analysis and possible candidates for regression

Next Steps:
- Complete documentation of all findings till date
- Get the survey results and do a preliminary analysis
- Start building kNN model using available data and validate performance

Re Framing the Research Question

Research Question: 1) Impact of food habits on heart diseases - Using machine learning to recommend best fit food choices for heart patients

                                                                or

2)  Impact analysis of food choices on people suffering from heart ailments and leveraging machine learning models to recommend most suitable food options

 

Note:  

The main objective in altering the research question is to address the ailment (Heart disease) precisely and the impact of food choices for a patient with heart disease is detrimental. Thus the food choices that relates to the disease will play a major phenomena in our research work. Thereby, the study will conclude it's finding through a Recommendation system inculcating machine learning algorithm/s.
