Answer the question posed in Problem 14.69, while accounting for possible age and gender differences between groups?


FIELD.DOC

Column _________________________________________ Variable

1−6 ……………………………….............………………………..… ID

8 …………………………………... Group (1 = RHO/2 = RPGR)

11−14 …………………………..…. Age at visit (XX.X in years)

16 ………………....………… Gender (1 = m/2 = f) Gender is 

coded as missing, but is actually male for all members of the RPGR group.

18−27 …………..……………. Date of visit (month/day/year)

29−34 …….…....………………… Time from 1st visit in years

36−43 …..…. Total field area right eye (OD) in degrees2

45−52 …..…….. Total field area left eye (OS) in degrees2


One possible complexity is that the age distribution of the 2 groups may not be balanced. Also, the RHO group contains both males and females while the RPGR group consists exclusively of males. Gender is also missing for some subjects in the RHO group. Gender is coded as missing for subjects in the RPGR group because they are all male.
