Diabetes dataset |
|
|
---------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
Ten baseline variables, age, sex, body mass index, average blood |
|
|
pressure, and six blood serum measurements were obtained for each of n = |
|
|
442 diabetes patients, as well as the response of interest, a |
|
|
quantitative measure of disease progression one year after baseline. |
|
|
|
|
|
