! Surgical deaths ! Data from page 515 of: ! Mosteller, F. & Tukey, J.W. `Data analysis and regression', ! Addison-Wesley, 1977. ! The following counts come from two areas in the US and refer to a ! 5-year period. The population is all patients who underwent surgery, ! and the deaths include all patients who died in the hospital following ! surgery. ! Notice that on the next-to-last line, there were apparently 70 deaths ! out of 52 patients. This probably should have been 50 out of 52. ! The logistic model fits these data fairly well except for the 0-4 age group.
