Univariate Analysis of Sire-to-Pup Disease Transmission Risk Factors

Kayla R. Duxbury's 5.5 KB dataset analyzes the impact of a sire's infection status on disease transmission to pups. The outcome variable is pup diagnostic positivity, with sire positivity via qPCR or serology during the birth year as the exposure. Missing sire diagnostic data is noted for specific pup identifiers 111, 132, 263, 284, 375, and 416.

Use Cases

• Assessing sire infection status as a risk factor for pup disease based on the described diagnostic exposure.
• Conducting univariate statistical analysis on parent-offspring disease transmission as indicated in the title.
• Identifying data completeness issues for epidemiological models based on the noted missing sire diagnostics.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Specific identifiers for pups with missing sire diagnostics (111, 132, 263, 284, 375, 416) are documented.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
