    This document summarizes the variables used in an analysis of a dataset containing 13587 observations and 34 variables. Most variables are categorical or text-based, making the data well-suited to association rule mining. A few variables are numeric. Key variables included the province, attack type, target type, and number of fatalities, as these capture important categorical information and the severity of incidents.

    Variables used for analysis:

    We first explored the data by looking at the total number of observations (i.e. 13587), number of
    variables (i.e. 34), number of missing values for each variable, and the type of each variable. The
    data consists of mainly categorical variables and text variables which means that it would be
    most appropriate to apply association rules to extract useful insights from the data. The data also
    contained few variables of discrete numeric nature.

    Variables Reasons
    Province/ Administrative Region/ State This variable is kept for the purpose of
    (provstate) identifying that we are keeping the data state-
    wise.
    Attack Information (attacktype1_txt) This variable is kept because this categorical
    variable is one of the major factors to classify
    the data on. It does not have missing values
    making it easier for us to classify data on it.
    Target/ Victim Type (targtype1_txt) This variable is kept because it tells about the
    type of victim which is one of the major
    factors to find the association.
    Total Number of Fatalities (nkill) This is a numerical variable which is storing
    the number of total fatalities. This is
    important to draw conclusions for association.
    This variable determines the gravity of the
    accident. Thus, including it is important.
