The Bayley Scales of Infant Development yield scores on two indices – the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and the Mental Development Index (MDI) – that can be used to assess a child’s level of functioning at approximately one year of age.  Among normal healthy infants, both indices have a mean value of 100.  As part of a study investigating the development and neurologic status of children who had undergone reparative heart surgery during the first three months of life, the Bayley Scales were administered to a sample of one-year-old infants born with congenital heart failure.  The children had been randomized to one of two different treatment groups, known as “circulatory arrest” and “low-flow bypass”. The groups differed in the specific way in which the reparative surgery was performed.  Unlike circulatory arrest, low-flow bypass maintains continuous circulation through the brain; although it is felt to be preferable by some physicians, it also has its own associated risk of brain injury. PDI scores (data below) are saved under the variable name pdi, MDI scores under mdi, and indicators of treatment group under trtment.  For this variable, 0 represents circulatory arrest and 1 is for low-flow bypass. a.)

Question

The Bayley Scales of Infant Development yield scores on two indices – the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and the Mental Development Index (MDI) – that can be used to assess a child’s level of functioning at approximately one year of age.  Among normal healthy infants, both indices have a mean value of 100.  As part of a study investigating the development and neurologic status of children who had undergone reparative heart surgery during the first three months of life, the Bayley Scales were administered to a sample of one-year-old infants born with congenital heart failure.  The children had been randomized to one of two different treatment groups, known as “circulatory arrest” and “low-flow bypass”.

The groups differed in the specific way in which the reparative surgery was performed.  Unlike circulatory arrest, low-flow bypass maintains continuous circulation through the brain; although it is felt to be preferable by some physicians, it also has its own associated risk of brain injury.

PDI scores (data below) are saved under the variable name pdi, MDI scores under mdi, and indicators of treatment group under trtment.  For this variable, 0 represents circulatory arrest and 1 is for low-flow bypass.

a.) Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the regression slope using R. Interpret this confidence interval. How does the confidence interval for the slope that you computed compare with a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the mean MDI values for the two groups?
