Data Transformation

To clean this data for a E. Coli, Bayesian Fitted Model , I selected variables I was most likely to employ

Disease	Count	Year	Sex
Since this model focused on E. Coli, I filtered the data set so only instances with E. Coli were included in the data set.	This model did not need any filtering with the variable count.	To make it easier to understand, the data set was filtered by year.	In the Sex Column, this data set also included a variable named Total. Total was the sum of the count for males and females. I removed this to avoid confusion when making a fitted model and plot.
