Description
A data set consisting of variables of mixed type measured on a group of
prostate cancer patients. Patients have either stage 3 or stage 4 prostate
cancer.
Usage
1
Format
A data frame with 475 observations on the following 15 variables.
Agea numeric vector indicating the age of the patient.
Weighta numeric vector indicating the weight of the patient.
Performance.ratingan ordinal variable indicating how active
the patient is: 0 - normal activity, 1 - in bed less than 50% of
daytime, 2 - in bed more than 50% of daytime, 3 - confined to bed.
Cardiovascular.disease.historya binary variable indicating
if the patient has a history of cardiovascular disease: 0 - no, 1 -
yes.
Systolic.Blood.pressurea numeric vector indicating the
systolic blood pressure of the patient in units of ten.
Diastolic.blood.pressurea numeric vector indicating the
diastolic blood pressure of the patient in units of ten.
Electrocardiogram.codea nominal variable indicating the
electorcardiogram code: 0 - normal, 1 - benign, 2 - rythmic
disturbances and electrolyte changes, 3 - heart blocks or conduction
defects, 4 - heart strain, 5 - old myocardial infarct, 6 - recent
myocardial infarct.
Serum.haemoglobina numeric vector indicating the serum
haemoglobin levels of the patient measured in g/100ml.
Size.of.primary.tumoura numeric vector indicating the
estimated size of the patient's primary tumour in centimeters squared.
Index.of.tumour.stage.and.histolic.gradea numeric vector
indicating the combined index of tumour stage and histolic grade of the
patient.
Serum.prostatic.acid.phosphatasea numeric vector indicating
the serum prostatic acid phosphatase levels of the patient in
King-Armstong units.
Bone.metastasesa binary vector indicating the presence of
bone metastasis: 0 - no, 1 - yes.
Stagethe stage of the patient's prostate cancer.
Observationa patient ID number.
SurvStatthe post trial survival status of the patient:
0 - alive, 1 - dead from prostatic cancer, 2 - dead from heart or
vascular disease, 3 - dead from cerebrovascular accident, 3 - dead form
pulmonary ebolus, 5 - dead from other cancer, 6 - dead from respiratory
disease, 7 - dead from other specific non-cancer cause, 8 - dead from
other unspecified non-cancer cause, 9 - dead from unknown cause.
