SA S for Linear Models, 4th Edition. Cary, N.C.: SAS Institute Inc. Description: A clinical trial was conducted comparing two treatments, an experim ental drug versus a control. The study was conducted at eight clinics. At each clinic, patients were assigned at random to either the experimental drug or the control. The variables in the data set are the clinic number (CLINIC), the a ssignment to the experimental drug or the control (TRT), the number of patients with favorable responses (FAV), the nu mber of patients with unfavorable responses (UNFAV), and the total number of patients at that clinic assigned to t hat treatment (NIJ). For educational purposes, the data can be analyzed with CLINIC as a random or a fixed effect.

Remission maintenance therapy in acute myelogenous leukemia. Western Journal of Medicine. 126: 267-272. Description: The dataset AML_Survival Data contains information on a trial conducted by Embury et al. (1977) at Stanford University. The investigators were concerned with the efficacy of maintenance therapy for acute myelogenous leukemia (aml). Initially, patients were treated by chemotherapy until remission. Then, these patients were randomized into two groups-a treatment group that received maintenance therapy and a control group that did not. Individuals in both groups were followed until they suffered a relapse, the event of interest. The event time variable is defined as the length of time in remission, i.e., the time from entry into the study until relapse.

Analysis: Descriptive statistics, time series analysis, ANOVA Reference: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Ju stice Statistics http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/dtdata.htm Description: The data set is a record of the arrests per 100,000 people in each age group in the United States from 1970 through 1999. The variables in the data set are: year (YEAR), arrests per 1 00 thousand in population (RATE), and the age group (AGEGROUP). The age groups are defined as (1) 14 and under, (2) 15 -17, (3) 18-20, (4) 21-24, and (5) 25 or over. The data set could be used to generate descriptive statistics by age group or to do a time series analysis to predict the arrest rates by age group. These predictions might be used in ass essing the need for judicial system infrastructure changes. Finally, the data could be used to compare age gr oups with an ANOVA.

SAS Institute Inc. Description: Since 1994, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required uniform, easy-to-read nutrition labeling for nearly all foods. The purpose of the new label is to reduce confusion and help consumers choose more healthful diets. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) have teamed up to produce the Food Guide Pyramid, which recommends eating a variety of foods, an appropriate number of calories, and a modest amount of fat-specifically, 30% or fewer of your total number of calories per day should be calories from fat, and only a third of those should be calories from saturated fat. For adults consuming 2000 calories per day, which works out to no more than 65 grams of fat, no more than 20 grams of which are saturated fat. We want to know how many candy bars can fit into this daily diet. We found nutritional facts about every candy bar we could find. We also included some non-bar candies like M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Skittles, and Super hot Tamales.

Description: The Flax Oil data set includes percentage measurements of oil content in flaxseed grown in each of four different locations for six different treatments. At each location one plant was inoculated with bacteria as a seedling, one plant in early bloom, one in full bloom, one at a lower dose in full bloom, and one when the plant was ripening. A sixth plant in each location was a control case, not inoculated at all. There was no replication of treatment by location combinations. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether the treatments had any effect on the oil content of the flaxseed. The four locations represent the blocks in this experiment.

SA S for Linear Models, 4th Edition. Cary, N.C.: SAS Institute Inc. Description: Four bags with 10 oysters in each bag are randomly placed at each of five stations in the cooling water canal of a power-generating plant. Each location, or station, is considered a tr

eatment and is represented by the varialbe TRT in the data set. Each bag is considered to be one experimental unit . Two stations are located in the intake canal, and two stations are located in the discharge canal, one at the to p and the other at the bottom of each location. A single mid-depth station is located in a shallow portion of the bay near the power plant. The treatments are coded 1 through 5 in the data set as follows: (1) intake-bottom, (2) intake-surface, (3) discharge-bottom, (4) discharge-surface, and (5) bay. The purpose of the experiment is to determine if exposure to water heated artifi cially affects growth and if the position in the water column (surface or bottom) affects growth. Stations in the intake canal act as controls for those in the discharge canal, which has a higher temperature. The station in the bay is an overall control in case some factor other than the heat difference dure to water depth or location is re sponsible for an observed change in growth rate. The oysters are cleaned and measured at the beginning of the experiment (INITIAL ) and again about one month later (FINAL). These two weights are recorded for each bag.

SAS Institute I nc. Description: You are in charge of the quality control effort at a bicycle manufacturer that specializes in limited production frames. The most popular model your company produces is a day touring model called the "Arribe!", which is a racing-style frame for weekend warriors. The seat tube angle of a bicycle frame can dramatically affect the finished bicycle's handling characteristics. This is the angle formed by the intersection of the tube that holds the seat post with the top horizontal frame tube. A small seat tube angle endows the frame with forgiving handling characteristics. Weekend warriors want frames that are responsive and quick; they prefer frames with steep seat tube angles. The "Arribe!" is manufactured with these specifications in mind. The purpose of this analysis is to determine if the manufacturing process is in control. The target angle is 74 degrees, with specification limits of 73.7 and 74.3 degrees.

Description: The data are from a prospective study of the occurrence of coronary events-usually heart attacks. Covariates that may influence the risk of a coronary event include smoking, blood pressure history, and cholesterol level. These data are from a group of 3,154 male employees from ten California companies during 1960-1961. The original purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of behavior type and smoking habits on heart disease. After the recruitment, the study followed participants for nine years, although a few were lost to follow-up before the end of the study. The time variable of interest was the interval from entry into the study until the appearance, as determined by a medical expert, of coronary heart disease. The dataset contains event time and censor variables for 614 participants, as well as measurements of two covariates of interest: smoking behavior at study entry and behavior type. Individuals were classified into behavior types on the basis of an interview; in general terms, Type A behavior is characterized by aggressiveness and competitiveness, whereas Type B behavior is considered more relaxed and noncompetitive.
