Hi!
I am having troubling fitting two linear regression models.
My dataset, named 'heart', contains mode of treatment (trtment) for congenital heart disease in infants, with 0 standing for circulatory arrest treatment and 1 for low-flow bypass treatment. Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) score and Mental Development Index (MDI) score are then noted against the type of treatment administered to the infant.
I am to fit two linear regression models, one with PDI score as the response and the another with Mental Development Index (MDI) score as the response.
I am using the following command for PDI and I am not getting the correct output to construct a linear model.
fit <- with(heart, lm(trtment~pdi))
fit
Call:
lm(formula = trtment ~ pdi)
Coefficients:

If I use this following command instead, I am still getting an error message and incorrect output;
fit <- with(heart, lm(pdi~trtment))
Warning messages:
1: In model.response(mf, "numeric") :
using type = "numeric" with a factor response will be ignored
2: In Ops.factor(y, z$residuals) : ‘-’ not meaningful for factors
I will really appreciate if someone could help me troubleshoot my commands as I need to model both PDI and MDI.
Thanks.
Cheers!
