AI Thread Summary
Finding suitable data for Cox regression analysis is challenging, as many available datasets only provide group percentages rather than individual characteristics. The user is seeking a dataset that is simple yet sufficient for coursework analysis. They have encountered difficulties locating comprehensive datasets specifically used in Cox regression studies, despite finding ample information on the methodology itself. Suggestions for potential resources have been offered, but the user has not found them adequate for their needs. The search for appropriate data continues, with the hope of receiving tutor approval on a dataset they have identified.

First of all, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question so if it isn't...sorry.

I'm doing a piece of coursework on cox regression, but I'm having trouble finding any data to use. Most of the data I've seen just gives percentages of people in certain groups, which isn't much use. I need something which itemises characteristics of each person. I've attached a sample data set I was given in a word document, 'cause I've no doubt I didn't explain that well. I also have to do some work on time series analysis and I had no trouble finding some data for that.

The data doesn't have to be complex, just enough to do a reasonable analysis on. Does anyone know of any good websites to look on for this sort of data?

Thanks for any help

Have you tried a Google search for "cox regression"? The first hit I got was http://www.statsdirect.com/help/regression_and_correlation/cox_regression.htm

which apparently has a sample data set and some statistics calculated from it.

BTW I know nothing about cox regression itself so apologies if this is irrelevant.

thanks, but i'd tried that. I had actually seen this one before, but the data isn't complex enough for the coursework.

the main problem i am finding is that there is plenty of data about cox regression, but very little about what data sets they used to do the analysis with in the first place.
 
Don't know if anyone else was looking for this data, but after sifting through hundreds of web pages, I think I've got some, just waiting to see if the tutor okays it.

Thanks though to anyone who was helping.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
