Details

A medical doctor and her team of researchers collected a variety of data on women who were having trouble getting pregnant. A key method for assessing fertility is a count of antral follicles (LowAFC or MeanAFC) that can be performed with noninvasive ultrasound. Researchers are interested in how the other variables are related to these counts.
