Questions

Use functions provided in DataSHIELD packages to solve the following problems:

Subsets and Statistics

...

Calculate the mean and the variance of the continuous variable BMI of obese males. 

...

Tip

...

Check the levels for the variables PM_BMI_CATEGORICAL and GENDER using ds.levels(). 

...

BMI is categorised in three levels: 1=normal, 2=overweight, 3=obese and gender is categorised in two levels: 0=male, 1=female.


Assign and Plots

...

  • Find the quantile mean and plot a histogram of pooled data for the exponent and for the logarithm of LAB_HDL measurement.

2-dimensional contingency tables

...

...

  • What percentage of females (pooled data) are diabetics?

...

  • What percentage of males in each study separately have stroke (DIS_CVA)?

Generalized Linear Models

...

...

  • Apply a generalised linear model that predicts the level of glucose between males and females. What is the predicted average level of glucose for males? What is this value for females?

...

  • Apply a GLM to predict the level of glucose using gender and continuous

...

  • BMI. How much the level of glucose is increasing with the increase of bmi by one unit? What is the predicted glucose level of a female with bmi=22?
