Colic horse data set

Description

This is a modified version of the original training data set taken from the UCI repository, see reference. The modifications are only related to having appropriate levels for factor variables. This data set is about horse diseases where the task is to determine, if the lesion of the horse was surgical or not.

Format

A training data frame with 300 observations on the following 31 variables.

surgery: yes or no
age: 1 equals an adult horse, 2 is a horse younger than 6 months
hospitalID: ID
temp_rectal: rectal temperature
pulse: heart rate in beats per minute
respiratory_rate: a normal rate is between 8 and 10
temp_extreme: temperature of extremities
pulse_peripheral: factor with four categories
capillayr_refill_time: a clinical judgement. The longer the refill, the poorer the circulation. Possible values are 1 = < 3 seconds and 2 = >= 3 seconds
pain: a subjective judgement of the horse's pain level
peristalsis: an indication of the activity in the horse's gut. As the gut becomes more distended or the horse becomes more toxic, the activity decreases
abdominal_distension: An animal with abdominal distension is likely to be painful and have reduced gut motility. A horse with severe abdominal distension is likely to require surgery just tio relieve the pressure
nasogastric_tube: This refers to any gas coming out of the tube. A large gas cap in the stomach is likely to give the horse discomfort
nasogastric_reflux: posible values are 1 = none, 2 = > 1 liter, 3 = < 1 liter. The greater amount of reflux, the more likelihood that there is some serious obstruction to the fluid passage from the rest of the intestine
nasogastric_reflux_PH: scale is from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. Normal values are in the 3 to 4 range
rectal_examination: Rectal examination. Absent feces probably indicates an obstruction
abdomen: abdomen. possible values 1 = normal, 2 = other, 3 = firm feces in the large intestine, 4 = distended small intestine, 5 = distended large intestine
cell_volume: packed cell volume. normal range is 30 to 50. The level rises as the circulation becomes compromised or as the animal becomes dehydrated.
protein: total protein. Normal values lie in the 6-7.5 (gms/dL) range. The higher the value the greater the dehydration
abdominocentesis_appearance: Abdominocentesis appearance. A needle is put in the horse's abdomen and fluid is obtained from the abdominal cavity
abdomcentesis_protein: abdomcentesis total protein. The higher the level of protein the more likely it is to have a compromised gut. Values are in gms/dL
outcome: What eventually happened to the horse?
surgical_lesion: retrospectively, was the problem (lesion) surgical?
lesion_type1: type of lesion
lesion_type2: type of lesion
lesion_type3: type of lesion
cp_data
temp_extreme_ordered: temperature of extremities (ordered)
mucous_membranes_col: mucous membranes. A subjective measurement of colour
mucous_membranes_group: different recodings of mucous membrances
