Intercept

The intercept

Treat

Type.1

The histological type of the tumor (1: type 1, 0: otherwise)

Type.2

The histological type of the tumor (1: type 2, 0: otherwise)

Type.3

The histological type of the tumor (1: type 3, 0: otherwise)

Status

A continuous index representing the status of the patient: 10—30 completely hospitalized, 40—60 partial confinement, 70—90 able to care for self.
