Using ANN To Predict Euthanasia in LMAS Intake

Overview and Introduction Driven by the desire to do something as fun and interesting as this post by the folks at Decision Science, I decided to dust off some previous work done on Louisville Metro Animal Services Animal [“LMAS”] Intake and Outcome data (you can get it here). The problems are sort of the same at the core - while the linked work focuses on customer churn, this analysis will focus on what information tends to predict a given animal will be euthanized at LMAS using Artificial Neural Networks (“ANN”).
