visual: Visual Impairment Data

In Fahrmeir: Data from the Book "Multivariate Statistical Modelling Based on Generalized Linear Models", First Edition, by Ludwig Fahrmeir and Gerhard Tutz

Description

For 5199 individuals bivariate binary responses were observed, indicating wheater or not an eye was visually impaired, with covariates. The main objective is to analyze the influence of age and race on visual impairment, controlling for education, a surrogate for socioeconomic status. Data are only given individually for right and left eye, the bivariate response is lost.
