Marked a few more Q4's and read a biostatistics article on prostate cancer nodal involvement.
I was able to complete the marking for Q4 now. I read an article that looked at ways of predicting nodal involvement in prostate cancer. This means a way of predicting this cancer's spread to near by lymph nodes. Thus avoiding surgery to find out if the cancer has spread. In this study N=53. Also in this study some analyses could not be done because of computation costs which these days would not effect these same analyses. This was the type of statistics professor Mill's has taught me so far. The article is Brown, Jr. Byron, W. M. Prediction Analyses For Binary Data in Miller, Jr, Rupert G., et al. Biostatistics Casebook (Toronto: John Wiley & Sons, 1980).
