Abstract
Graphical methods are best explained by working through examples. In this chapter we shall conduct a preliminary analysis of a data set on neonatal mortality. Data on the birth of 3331 children were registered from 1990 to 1992 at Clinique Saint Luc, Brussels, Belgium (Ritter and Bouckaert, 1993). Of these newborns, 56 died in utero, at birth, or within the first seven days after birth. Table 4.1 shows an excerpt of the data matrix.
