Assignment description
Description of the fourth task
Assigned data / model
Analysis of the application area
Our sample data belongs into the medical field of application. We are dealing with diagnostic findings which are basically sets of multiple tests that play a supportive role in doctors' decisions about the diagnosis. Given these two examples we can see that the second finding holds multiple times as much data as the first one. This indicates that each patient has a specialized set if tests that has been chosen for him by his doctor.
The data has been arranged in four columns. The first column holds the name of the test or the name of the subject the patient has been tested on. The second column holds the outcome of the test. In all cases we can see here, we are dealing with numbers. But some of these numbers are floating point numbers, others are integers. One of these tests even returns multiple values as result. Some of the cells in this column have been marked using the star character (*). This indicates that a value does not lie in an interval specified in the fourth column. The third column specifies the units of the results. The fourth column specifies the reference values for each of these tests, i.e. an interval that specifies acceptable values for this test. Multiple forms of intervals are being used, e.g:
- bis 200
- 220-480
- <66
