Question

The following table contains a sample from a larger data set collected on people discharged from a selected hospital as part of a retrospective chart review of antibiotic usage in hospitals. Please, determine the type of the following variables that appear in the data table, and decide how best to present them in a summarized way to the hospital manager. . Please, identify 1 numerical and 1 graphical method for each variable, and justify your choices. • Duration of hospital stay (in days) • Age of patients (continuous ) • First temperature following admission • Count of WBC following admission • Type of service provided for patients (medical or surgical) Please, identify 1 numerical and 1 graphical method for each variable, and justify your choices. • Duration of hospital stay (in days) • Age of patients (continuous ) • First temperature following admission • Count of WBC following admission • Type of service provided for patients (medical or surgical) categorical variable

Explanation / Answer

For this type of variable we can fit the predictive model.

We can use decision tree model here because it is very usefull and easy to understand if number of predictor is less.

Response variable ( Dependent variable ) = Status of Discharge ( Yes or No )

you can use cateogory ( yes = 1 and No = 0 )

Predictor Variable ( Independent Variable ) : 1) Age of patient ( contineous variable )

2) Type of service provided for patients (medical or surgical) (categorical variable)

3) Duration of hospital stay (in days) (contineous variable)

4) Count of WBC (contineous variable)

5) First temperature following admission ( contineous variable )

It is graphical as well as it could give better output results.

Also we can use scstter plot to show the result linear relationship between two variables.
