    The document provides instructions for analyzing the relationship between low birth weight and several maternal factors using data on 120,300 births in North Carolina. Students are asked to: [1] Conduct a logistic regression to examine the association between smoking and low birth weight, adjusted for gestational age. [2] Perform another logistic regression to analyze the relationship between ethnicity and low birth weight, adjusting for gestational age, maternal age, and smoking. They are to report test statistics, odds ratios, confidence intervals and p-values and interpret the results.

    Recall that the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics makes publicly available birth
    and infant death data for all children born in the state of North Carolina. This comprehensive
    dataset for the births in 2001 contains 120,300 records. The data in ‘NCBIRTH800.sav’ which
    we have used previously represents a random sample of 800 of those births and selected
    variables.

    1. Is low birth weight associated with mother’s smoking status during pregnancy after
    accounting for gestational age?
    Independent===smoking

    Dependent==low birth weight


    Confounding==gestational age
    a) Construct contingency tables/cross table for each categorical explanatory variable
    and the outcome variable
    For odds ratio..if 1 falls in the values then it is not significant
    If you wanna go to risk you go to risks
    Continuos….series of numbers if we use odds ratio
    Categorical…t.test/two
    There is a t difference btn gestational age age
    We have looked on the association btn dependednt and independent and
    confounding
    b) State your null and alternative hypotheses.
    c) Perform a logistic regressioeen mother’s smoking status and low birth weight
    adjusted for gestational age. Report the appropriate test statistic, odds ratio, 95%
    confidence interval, and p-value.
    Report the odds ratio
    After adjusting for gestational age we don’t see the significance btn the variables
    The gestational age is significance
    Wald value that’s a chi squre
    d) Interpret your results in a sentence.
    Wald adjusted for gestational age there is no evidence of statistically significance
    btn smoking and mothers gestational age, indicating no clear effect. (when
    adjusted for gestational age)

    2. Is low birth weight associated with mother’s ethnicity, after accounting for gestational
    age, mother’s age and smoking status during pregnancy?
    Mothers’s e
    a) Construct contingency tables for each categorical explanatory variable and the
    outcome variable
    b) State your null and alternative hypotheses.
    Alternative is not equal to 1
    Odds ratio for the ethnithicity is equal to 1
    c) Perform a logistic regression between mother’s smoking status and low birth
    weight adjusted for gestational age. Report the appropriate test statistic, odds
    ratio, 95% confidence interval, and p-value.
    Overall P-value for the …you csn dtsrt there,
    Can be asked to interprete..the odds for black people are…
    Its calculating odds ratio relative to each group
    d) Interpret your results in a sentence.
    Read the text book Multivarible Linear regression.
    No quiz
    21/2 month…..1 week ..probability
