Description

The data set provides the odds ratios and correlations as measures of associations of the binary outcome impaired pulmonary function for a family of four with two parents and two siblings.

These correlations and odds ratios are obtained from Qaqish et al. (2012) based on a regression analysis of a common data set of parents and siblings with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their controls.
