Biostat 510 Final Project Winter, 2006
Click here to download a copy of the Biostat 510 final project assignment.
Click here to view descriptive statistics for all 4685 adults (age 20 and older) in the Tecumseh data set.
Please work independently on the project. If you have problems, contact me (kwelch@umich.edu) or send an email to the Biostat 510 instructors' group (bios510inst@umich.edu). Class sessions will be held at the regular times on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the end of the semester. I will be lecturing during each class, and will also answer a few questions regarding the project. These class sessions will primarily be lectures, and not help sessions for the project.
The project is due by 12:00 noon, Friday, April 21st in Melissa Karby and Rhiannon Popa's office in the Biostat Department (Room 4210 SPH II), just across the hall from the elevator and the stairs.
You can get a floppy disk or CD on which to place your final project data set, your SAS commands and your SPSS commands from Rhiannon and Melissa in room 4210 SPH II.
Each student has a random sample of 800 observations drawn from the Tecumseh Community Health Study data. To get your data set, double-click on it, and then download it to your computer. You will need to write a data step to read the data into SAS, and a data list command to read the data into SPSS. Let me know if you have any problems getting your data, or cannot find your data set here.AKIRAS.dat AMBERKP.dat ASHFELIX.dat ASIMANEK.dat ASTYKA.dat AVAZ.dat BIEBERB.dat BLAMPE.dat BMHO.dat BRIDAVIS.dat BRIHEA.dat BRONWEN.dat CHERRY.dat CIAGLIAC.dat CMBZ.dat CSHOUSH.dat DRRAGHU.dat EFLANNER.dat ELKAC.dat EVENETTI.dat EWAN.dat GEORGOP.dat GIALEMU.dat GINNYLAI.dat GSNEWMAN.dat HAASA.dat HEBERTA.dat IKHO.dat IKM.dat JAHAGAN.dat JAMESUK.dat JAMIETL.dat JINGQ.dat JIOWU.dat JNAFF.dat JNMILTON.dat JONKSKY.dat JWMIAO.dat KASTASIA.dat KAZEMI.dat KDOOLEY.dat KKERSHAW.dat KLEXA.dat KPOLER.dat LIZLEVIN.dat LWASEK.dat MCCHANG.dat MEDJSPN.dat MHARTRIC.dat MLAYTON.dat MMANSOUR.dat MOLLER.dat MSHAK.dat NEILSEAL.dat OADJAPON.dat OSINACHI.dat PMALEXAN.dat PUJAM.dat PVIJI.dat RACHMELB.dat RAMAKK.dat RDAYALU.dat RDKJ.dat REIDL.dat RENUKABC.dat RGOGINEN.dat RHOLLE.dat RMKUNKEL.dat RZIMA.dat SARAEMC.dat SETHSC.dat SGCHAI.dat SIRIUS.dat SMBAXI.dat SOVANTHA.dat SRASHEED.dat SRRAVI.dat SSHAUKAT.dat STAIN.dat STEFFEYA.dat STKRISTN.dat TROYDM.dat UNKIM.dat VABLEAM.dat VEROH.dat WALTSC.dat WUCHUNYI.dat ZBERRENS.dat ZBOHRA.dat
