Abstract

Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States. In this work, we performed mathematical and statistical modelling of Tumour sizes as a function of age for four different races. Mathematically, based on the behaviour of the data for each race, we partitioned ages of subjects into several intervals. The mathematical function that characterizes the size of the Tumour as a function of age was determined for each age interval. Statistically, using quantile regression, we designed models that are more robust at specific quantiles using Tumour size and age as dependent and predictor variables.

Keywords- Colon cancer, Line plots, Quantile regression, Statistical modelling, Mathematical modelling.
