1.4.4 Prostate Cancer Study Data Set
ОглавлениеThe Prostate Cancer Study data set consists of 380 patients in a study to determine whether the variables measured at a baseline medical examination can be used to predict whether the prostatic tumor has penetrated a prostatic capsule. The data were collected by Dr. Donn Young at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and the data have been modified to protect subject confidentiality. Variables included in this data set are summarized in Table 1.4.
