fasttrakg

Description

Data are from the Canadian National Cardiovascular Disease registry called, FASTRAK. years covered at 1996-1998. They have been grouped by covariate patterns from individual observations.

Usage

data(fasttrakg)

Format

A data frame with 15 observations on the following 9 variables.

die

number died from MI

cases

number of cases with same covariate pattern

anterior

1=anterior site MI; 0=inferior site MI

hcabg

1=history of CABG; 0=no history of CABG

killip

Killip level of cardiac event severity (1-4)

kk1

(1/0) angina; not MI

kk2

(1/0) moderate severity cardiac event

kk3

(1/0) Severe cardiac event

kk4

(1/0) Severe cardiac event; death

Details

fasttrakg is saved as a data frame. Count models use died as response numerator and cases as the demoninator

Examples

 data(fasttrakg)
glmfp <- glm(die ~ anterior + factor(killip) + offset(log(cases)), family=poisson, data=fasttrakg)
summary(glmfp)
exp(coef(glmfp))
#glmfnb < -glm.nb(die ~ anterior + factor(killip) + offset(log(cases)), data=fasttrakg)
#summary(glmfnb)
#exp(coef(glmfnb))
