During two months on the ksgeist/Merrimack_DSE6630 repository, Garofalos developed analytics infrastructure and spatial modeling tools for healthcare data. He established reproducible R project scaffolding, implemented robust data loading and preprocessing pipelines, and addressed data access and binning issues to ensure reliable analysis. His work included pneumonia-focused data wrangling, feature engineering, and the design of modeling plans using OLS and Elastic Net. In June, he advanced spatial epidemiology analytics by building SAR, SEM, and SDM models to analyze pneumonia readmission patterns. Throughout, he emphasized documentation, reproducibility, and clarity, leveraging R, Tidyverse, and Markdown for transparent, maintainable workflows.
