Details

Infection from birth by Caesarian section. The response variable, y, has levels 1=type I infection, 2=type II infection, 3=none infection. Where risk-factors (diabetes, overweight, others) present? Where antibiotics used as prophylaxis? Aim is to analyse effects on response by covariates.

Examples

summary(caesar)
caesar.glm1 <- glm(yl ~ noplan+factor+antib, data=caesar, weight=w, 
                       family=binomial(link="logit"))
caesar.glm2 <- glm(yl ~ noplan+factor+antib, data=caesar, weight=w, 
                   family=binomial(link="probit"))
