,Data Types in “R”,: numeric and non-numeric..However, they can also be described more specifically. Numeric variables with no decimals (e.g. number/s of bypasses performed) are defined as “integers”. Non-numeric variables with two levels (e.g. male or female) are called “factors”, and with more than two levels “chara

Intuitively, the independent variables or explanatory variables are the covariates that may influence the dependent variables. Independent v

Logistic Regression,is .. Logistic regression is frequently encountered in scientific medical papers, but is also pivotal for machine learning. We use logistic regression when we are interested in classification, to compute the probability of the outcome of interest occurring with certain predictors. Notably, the outco

Time-to-Event Analysis,e outcome is mortality. For the latter, the outcome can be any binary event (i.e. cancer relapse, re-hospitalisation, etc.). Time-to-event/survival analysis is somewhat similar to logistic regression, since the outcome of interest is binary. Yet the underlying math is different, and for survival ana
