there may be negligible in accuracies in terms of data entry and human e

do not exist in this data set. They focus on the usage of information for a particular sect of
people. They tend to define community as "a homogenous sect of people which can find the

the set of people that can benefit out of the information given in the data set and hence the
hospital aims at ensuring higher levels of hospitals and better treatments for each of the cancer

shows a range of new cases in the hospitals with relation to cancer. The data has been collected
y the hospital itself and has been published for the benefit of the society. The data reveals new
cases only in the hospital and hence bias may be possible as the hospital might wish to inflate the
data to a certain extent for marketing and
anding purposes. Yet, as this data has been usefully
utilized by several other researchers, it can be considered to be substantially unbiased and useful
for this research as well. Moreover as this data has to be submitted and is controlled by the
medical boards, it is quite likely that the data may be regulated, supervised and hence be accurate
as well. The source is quite credible and reliable since it is from a well known Atlanta based
hospital and its unit in Indiana. These data sets and researched choose the society and each sect
of the society to be a part of the community.
