Usage

1

Format

A data frame with 23 rows and 4 variables:

Sample Size

Number of kidney transplants in each hospital during a 27 months period (at least 50)

Graft Failure Rate

Graft failure rates for kidney transplant operations i.e. number of graft failures/sample size

Severity Index

Severity index at each hospital which is measured by the average fraction of females, blacks, children, and extremely ill kidney recipients at that hospital

SE

The standard error for the graft failure rate. The variance for the graft failure rate D_{i}, is approximated by (0.2)(0.8)/n_{i}, where 0.2 is the observed failure rate for all hospitals. Thus, D_{i} is assumed known.
