Reaven and Miller diabetes data
The data set contains five measurements made on 145 non-obese adult patients classified into three groups.
The three primary variables are glucose intolerance (area under the straight line connecting glucose levels), insulin response to oral glucose (area under the straight line connecting insulin levels) and insulin resistance (measured by the steady state plasma glucose (SSPG) determined after chemical suppression of endogenous insulin secretion). Two additional variables, the relative weight and fasting plasma glucose, are also included.
Reaven and Miller, following Friedman and Rubin (1967), applied cluster analysis
to the three primary variables and identified three clusters: "normal",
"chemical diabetic", and "overt diabetic" subjects. The column group
contains the classifications of the subjects into these three groups,
obtained by current medical criteria.
data(diabetes)
A data frame with the following variables:
relative weight, expressed as the ratio of actual weight to expected weight, given the person's height.
fasting plasma glucose level.
area under plasma glucose curve after a three hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
area under plasma insulin curve after a three hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Steady state plasma glucose, a measure of insulin resistance.
the type of diabetes: a factor with levels normal, chemical and overt.
