endosim | R Documentation |
The endosim
data set was simulated based on the data analyzed in Rodriguez-Alvarez et al. (2011a,b) 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.
data(endosim)
A data frame with 2840 observations on the following 4 variables.
gender
patient's gender. Factor with Male
and Female
levels.
age
patient's age.
idf_status
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.
