We are Forecasting Mental Wellness of Students using Julia
The purpose of this study was to understand the student’s mental health as a function of self, the social and the school and the interrelation using Julia Packages. We had collected data from various sources and implemented using Julia Packages such as DataFrames.jl which will tabulate the data, MLJ.jl to make predictions on the data and PyPlot.jl to plot the results and other metrics.


Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress and make healthy choice for being mentally stable. It can affect us through any sort of being like object, person/group of people and any kind of field.
