Data on infection from births by Caesarian section

Usage

data(caesar)

Format

A data frame with 24 observations on the following 7 variables.

y

a factor with levels 1 2 3, the response

w

number of patients in group

noplan

a factor with levels not planned, was the caesarian planned?

factor

a factor with levels risk factors without, was there risk factors?

antib

a factor with levels antibiotics without

yl
