Abstract
This case study is taken from Harrell et al. 272 which described a World Health Organization study 439 in which vital signs and a large number of clinical signs and symptoms were used to develop a predictive model for an ordinal response. This response consists of laboratory assessments of diagnosis and severity of illness related to pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.

Notes
- 1.
SaO 2 was measured but CXR was not done
- 2.
Assumed zero since neither BC nor LP were done.
- 3.
These age intervals were also found to adequately capture most of the interaction effects.
