A list containing:
- diagnosis
An R factor vector containing the Alzheimer's disease diagnosis for 333 subjects.
- predictors
A data frame containing demographic and laboratory measurements for the study subjects, including the
Genotypevariable.
The Genotype predictor records the subject's Apolipoprotein E (APOE)
genotype. APOE has three variants (E2, E3, and E4), with six possible
genotype combinations formed by inheriting one variant from each parent.
APOE genotype is associated with Alzheimer's disease risk.
