saheart: South African Hearth data set

In MixCluster: MixCluster performs the clustering of mixed-type data sets (data sets with different natures of variables) with missing values.

Description

Data are available at http://sci2s.ugr.es/keel/dataset.php?cod=184. This data set is a retrospective sample of males in a heart-disease high-risk region of the Western Cape, South Africa. Many of the coronary heart disease (CHD) positive men have undergone blood pressure reduction treatment and other programs to reduce their risk factors after their CHD event. In some cases the measurements were made after these treatments. The class label indicates if the person has a coronary heart disease (negative or positive) and is hidden for our analysis. Individuals are described by the following nine variables. The continuous variables are systolic blood pressure (sbp), cumulative tobacco (tobacco), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl), adiposity, obesity and current alcohol consumption (alcohol). The integer variables are type-A behavior (typea) and age at onset (age). Finally, the binary variable indicates the presence or not of heart disease in the family history (famhist).

Format
