Coughs and Sneezes

In the data set above, there are two 5-day measurements, which have the maximum for the number of students with a cold. Because the number of students with a cold was not measured inbetween 20 and 25 days, I will make the assumption that at 23 days is the maximum with 47 students with a cold because otherwise it makes the modelling difficult because there are two days with the same cases of colds. The maximum value for number of students with a cold will be taken as 48 because sine curves do not have a flat top so there must be a peak, so we assume that the peak of the curve is 48 students.

Rates and STI's

Over the past two decades England & Wales have been experiencing total fertility rates (TFR) lower than the necessary value for replacement of generations. At the same time new cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) reported by Genito-urinary medicine (GUM) clinics have been steadily increasing. This case aimed to analyse the potential relationship between decreasing fertility rates in England & Wales and the number of new cases of STI's reported by GUM clinics.
