meningitis60ymis- Meningococcal Disease Data with missing data in the response variable
Description
The dataset meningitis is from a brief outbreak of meningococcal disease at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign campus in the years 1991 and 1992. The dataset is available in the LogXact software and also analyzed in Imrey et al. (1996). Pradhan, Nychka and Bandyopadhyay (2024) fitted the model resp~Numnill+Numsleep+Smoke+Set+Reftime
, where the the response variable resp included missing value.
Usage
meningitis60ymis
Format
A data frame with several rows and columns representing various variables:
- CaseCntrl
Case control status
- Numnill
Number of illnesses
- Numsleep
Number of sleep disturbances
- R
an indicator variable for missing CaseCntrl
- Smoke
Smoking status
- Set
Set variable
- m
indicator variable for observations with missing values
- Reftime
Reference time
- resp
Response variable with missing data for the varaible CaseCntrl
