Hi there,

Early breast cancer trialists' collaborative group. Effects of chemotherapy and hormonal therapy for early breast cancer on recurrence and a 15-year survival: an overview of the randomized trials. Lancet 2005, 365:1687-1717

Thank you!

Logistic Regression
B

Quote From Destiny:

While it is ok to find the relationship between a dependent variable and one independent variable, I would think this is too simple a model. I would suggest controlling for other factors as well. You might find the relationship is not so stong after all given other factors and this is what real world data is like. My suggestion is 1) run the simple model first, and 2) try controlling for other factors (if there are other actors) and see what happens. I hope this helps.


good idea. I'll run the simple model first to 'find my feet' and then see what I can control for. Thanks so much for your advice I really appreciate it.

Hi Stephen,

I created an excel spreadsheet and had a column for the author, date, design, findings, limitations etc. It took a while to set up but was worth it in the end.

Good luck!!

Quote From sneaks:

Hi Buttercup, I think these may be a bit early for online access (1982) you may have to actually GO to the library! - something I haven't done in four years - good luck, make sure you take supplies and a blanket in case you get lost!
