This project will involve analysis of the bacteria dataset from the MASS package, to answer some specific questions that are listed below. The aim is to model the presence of the bacteria H. influenzae in children with a middle ear infection in the Northern Territory of Australia. Specifi- cally, fit generalized linear mixed models to uncover treatment effects on presence of H. influenzae, that consider possible effects due to treatment compliance and the timing of the test (week) and possible interactions with treatment. Be sure to present the results both when compliance is used and when it is not used.
Research Questions:
- Is the treatment effective?
- How do they behave over time?
-
- Any compliance effect?
