This data set is a cross-tabulation of data on 16949 individuals who experienced a heart attack (ASSENT-2 Investigators, 1999).
There are 4 categorical factors each at 3 levels, together with the number of patients and the number of deaths for each
observed combination of the factors. This data set is useful for illustrating the convergence properties of glm
and glm2
.
data(heart)
A data frame with 74 observations on the following 6 variables.
Deaths
number of deaths
Patients
number of patients
AgeGroup
categorization of the age of the patients
Severity
severity of the heart attack
Delay
categorization of the time from heart attack to treatment
Region
geographical region in which the patients were treated
The variable AgeGroup
groups the age of the patients as follows: 1 = <65 years, 2 = 65-75 years, 3 = >75 years.
The variable Delay
groups the time from heart attack onset to treatment as follows: 1 = <2 hours, 2 = 2-4 hours, 3 = >4 hours.
The variable Severity
denotes the severity of the heart attack using the Killip class: 1 = least severe (class I), 2 = middle severity (class II), 3 = most severe (class III or IV). The variable Region
provides the geographical region in which the patients were treated: 1 = Western countries, 2 = Latin America, 3 = Eastern Europe. This data set is useful for illustrating the convergence properties of glm
and glm2
; see examples in the help documentation for glm2
