Description

Ranking of 4 breast cancer categories of 106 observations. The original dataset was a categorical one, and it was converted to the current ranking dataset by sorting the expected probabilities (computed by fitting a stepwise logistic regression) of the 4 categories.

Usage

data(breasttissue)

Format

A data frame with 106 observations on the following 4 variables.

adi

the rank of category "adipose"

car

the rank of category "carcinoma"

con

the rank of category "connective"

new

the rank of cateogry "fibro-adenoma, mastopathy or glandular"

Details

The rankings were generated by first fitting a stepwise logistic regression to the original dataset, and then sorted by the expected probabilities of the 4 categories.
