R Documentation

Simulated endocrine data.

Description

The endosyn data set was simulated based on the data analysed in Rodriguez-Alvarez et al. (2011a,b) and Inacio de Carvalho and Rodriguez-Alvarez (2018); and presented in Botana et al. (2007) and Tome et al. (2008). The aim of these studies was to use the body mass index (BMI) to detect patients having a higher risk of cardiovascular problems, ascertaining the possible effect of age and gender on the accuracy of this measure.

Usage

data("endosyn")

Format

A data frame with 2840 observations on the following 4 variables.

gender: patient's gender. Factor with Men and Women levels.
age: patient's age.
cvd_idf: true disease status (presence/absence of two of more cardiovascular risk factors according to the International Diabetes Federation). Numerical vector (0 = absence, 1 = presence).
bmi: patient's body mass index.
