Abstract

We will be using a variety of interpolation functions in order to analyze the illicit drug overdose deaths in the last 20 years. We will construct a program to approximate the change, rate of change, and total change of drug-related deaths. The data set used was the 1999-2020 CDC drug-related deaths. We will be looking for trends and sudden behavior changes in order to see how policies and world events affect the death rate.
