Intro
Hello and welcome to the homepage of Christian Hicks!
I am an epidemiology graduate student from San Diego State Univerisity, and the website you have accessed houses a collection of various solo projects I have worked on during my studies. To view these projects either go back to the homepage and select a project or click here to go straight to my most recent work.
The source code for this website can also be accessed on GitHub.

- Project organization
- Version control
- Import, merge, subset, clean, and export data
- Visualization with ggplot
- Analysis of weighted data
- Sourcing of scripts throughout project
- Custom functions
- R markdown reports in HTML and PDF/LaTeX
For quick access to specific examples of my code, check the following links to the source code:
GIS
This project used the desktop version of ArcGIS Pro in combination with the online programs on Arcgis.com. A larger view of the widget below, along with the full report, can be viewed here. Below the widget on this page is a description of processes done to complete this project.
ArcGIS Pro processes:
- Match longitude and latitude information to points on a map (grocery store locations)
- Import U.S. state, county, and census tract borders from public datasets
- Manipulate map layers to visualize graduated colors by high cholesterol prevalence within census tracts
- Display density of grocery stores
- Create buffer around grocery store data points and count intersections with census tract borders
- Perform linear regression and identify outliers by using graduated colors to map residuals
SAS
Disparities in COVID-19 vaccination uptake
My first solo analysis project I have done with a statistical software package. The GitHub repository can be viewed here and the PDF report is here.
SAS processes included in this project:
- Import, merge, clean, and export data
- Run descriptive and analyitical statistics
- Visualize regression models and other statistics
- Export results to PDF
