Secondary Analysis: pma_at_first_oral_feeding vs pma_at_full_oral_feeding¶
Analysis of pma_at_first_oral_feeding vs pma_at_full_oral_feeding.
Unadjusted Model Results¶
Simple linear regression examining the direct relationship between pma_at_first_oral_feeding and pma_at_full_oral_feeding.
Model diagnostics warning: High multicollinearity detected (condition number > 30). Residuals may not be normally distributed (p < 0.05).
