Social Problem Analysis: Suicides from 1999 to 2016 and Beyond

To show what can be done with data collected a public source such as the Centers for Disease Control, I produced a video about suicides. Suicide has been on the public radar recently because of the scrutiny it has received in the press. And the concerns expressed in the press about the rising numbers and rate of suicide.

When I was in college, I was taught that suicide was a largely based on the victim's emotional state. That the answers of how to address it were to be found in psychology and psychiatry. That may have been true then, but the data that I analyzed, that you will see in this movie, says that suicide may now be more of a socio-economic problem.

Here is the link to the video:

Behavioral Analysis of Network Traffic to Detect Intruders

I'm providing this video as an introduction to some of the work I have done on network traffic analysis as a means to detect intruders in real time. It is a forensic analysis of network traffic in real time that detects intruders using proprietary statistical traffic analysis methods that I developed. There's some aspects of my work on predictive statistical models in this work. And a real time, automated intruder defense capability as well.

Unfortunately, I can't describe how the system operates. That is proprietary information. I can say that it uses an approach that detects specific network activities that should either not be present or violate baseline patterns of behavior. All this is done on a per connection basis and does not affect transmission speeds.

I'll let you imagine how this system works once you've seen the video.

Here's the video.
