Gender encoding of HMR center patients

Gender encoding of HMR center patients

Dear organizers, In the "hecktor2022_patient_info_training.csv" file, a different convention for Gender is used for the HMR centre. Instead of M/F, a binary 0 or 1 is used. As more cases have 1, and prevalence of H&N cancer is greater for males, I would assume that for HMR males have 1 assigned and females 0. Could you please confirm this? Many thanks in advance!

That's correct. We will update the file with M/F for the HMR center. Sorry for the mistake. Vincent
