Fertility
Description
Fertility measurements for a sample of women
Format
A dataset with 333 observations on the following 10 variables.
Age | Age (in years) |
LowAFC | Smallest antral follicle count |
MeanAFC | Average antral follicle count |
FSH | Maximum follicle stimulating hormone level |
E2 | Fertility level |
MaxE2 | Maximum fertility level |
MaxDailyGn | Maximum daily gonadotropin level |
TotalGn | Total gonadotropin level |
Oocytes | Number of egg cells |
Embryos | Number of embryos |
Details
A medical doctor and her team of researchers collected a variety of data on women who were having troubling getting pregnant. A key method for assessing fertility is a count of antral follicles (LowAFC or MeanAFC) that can be performed with noninvasive ultrasound. Researchers are interested in how the other variables are related to these counts.
