##以向量形式输入数据
patientID <- c(1,2,3,4)
age <- c(25,34,28,52)
diabetes <- c('Type1','Type2','Type1','Type1')
status<-c('Poor','Improved','Excellent','Poor')
##因子化
diabetes = factor(diabetes)
status = factor(status, ordered = T)
patientdata = data.frame(patientID,age,diabetes,status)

str(patientdata)  #数据结构
summary(patientdata)  # 描述统计
