Matplotlib: Mice Study
Analysis and visualizations using a data set for 249 mice, with SCC tumor growth and a variety of drug regimes.
Observations and Insights: The best performing drug regimens were Capomulin, slightly second to Ramicane. Both drugs yielded far lower average tumor volume measurements, as well as a much lower range of tumor size measurements.

Distribution of female versus male mice
A sample mouse's tumor treated with Capomulin began to yield positive results at roughly the middle timepoint of the study, when the tumor volume dropped dramatically below its original measurement. This progress was not linear.

Time point versus tumor volume for a mouse (l1509) treated with Capomulin
There is a strong association between weight and average tumor volume, within the Capomulin data. The weight of a given mouse was a potential predictor of smaller sized tumors.
The correlation coefficient between weight and average tumor volume is 0.84
