SOCR Simulated HELP Data

See the SOCR Simulated HELP Data first. These data can be copy-pasted using the mouse from the HTML table into a plain text file "help_data.csv".

R examples

These simulated HELP data can be used to demonstrate (using SOCR and R)a number of different statistical, modeling, inferential and data analytic techniques.

Fitting stratified regression models

Frequently, one needs to perform similar analyses in several groups, i.e., fitting separate linear regression models for each substance abuse group.

formula <- as.formula(i1 ~ age)
p <- length(coef(lm(formula)))
res <- matrix(rep(0, numb_unique*p), p, numb_unique)
for (i in 1:length(unique_vals)) {
      res[,i] <- coef(lm(formula, subset=substance==unique_vals[i]))
}
