I have been asked to do the following task: /'Using the data-frame in DoctorVisits.Rda, perform a Poisson regression analysis of how number of visits to the doctor in the two week period varies as a function of age group (i.e. <30, 30-50, >50), sex and illness. Holding sex and number of illnesses constant at their mean values, what are the predicted rates of visits to a doctor over a two week period for different age groups.' /
I have ran my Poisson regression... M.dr <- glm(visits ~ age.category + gender + illness, + data=DoctorVisits, + family=poisson) But now I am stuck on how to input gender as a constant mean in the prediction function. So far I have... predictor.values <- with(DoctorVisits, data.frame(age.category=c('<30', '30-50','>50'), illness=mean(illness), gender= *??????*) I do not know what to put in for the gender variable as I am dealing with factors. Will be grateful for the help. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Predictions-and-Poisson-tp4727833.html Sent from the datatable-help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ datatable-help mailing list datatable-help@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/datatable-help
