Click here to view descriptive statistics for all adults (ages 20 to 69) 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 (b510inst@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 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 22nd in Kyana Taylor and Tara Kazmeier's office in the Biostat Department (Room 4210 SPH II), just across the hall from the elevator and the stairs.
You can get a CD on which to place your final project data set, your SAS commands and your SPSS commands from Kyana or Tara 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, 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.hallnai.dat acoplen.dat akmcclur.dat alyseg.dat amarkovi.dat amburson.dat anderle.dat anickles.dat ashf.dat astrahl.dat bakulski.dat batman.dat cglashee.dat cmbartni.dat coleszko.dat eattar.dat edejessi.dat edubya.dat elass.dat emcspadd.dat endresst.dat ericee.dat erinrens.dat eunclee.dat fortierk.dat freimana.dat georgege.dat gerbinm.dat gldt.dat herzogcm.dat hspink.dat jbdougla.dat jenmerte.dat jianing.dat jmhug.dat jmpost.dat jrcoyle.dat kabrumm.dat kboelkin.dat kcshen.dat kgonza.dat kkrennh.dat klevinso.dat kmunn.dat kolp.dat lalonde.dat lchess.dat linxie.dat lizshane.dat lkevin.dat lovadje.dat mangesar.dat marydent.dat mcnamarl.dat meagqd.dat meierp.dat mheather.dat minalrp.dat mksilver.dat monee.dat montalto.dat nalizaga.dat nijikas.dat nnoel.dat notmank.dat nsorhain.dat obianwuc.dat okothl.dat patilp.dat patterst.dat pblackin.dat perngwei.dat peterlis.dat pranojos.dat redwoodm.dat rlcoug.dat rneogi.dat robinon.dat syhuang.dat talahaj.dat thummala.dat tmovsas.dat tpasu.dat tskolar.dat vhannosh.dat wilsonjn.dat xinyuz.dat ykhach.dat youatt.dat yoyai.dat
