This document describes using R and mind mapping to analyze Medicare provider utilization and payment data from 2012. It performed statistical analysis on the data, including calculating average payments per country and US state, and mapping the results. It also looked at the correlation between payments and charges by state. The goal was to demonstrate using mind mapping for big data visualization.
