Hungarian component of 2nd International Science Survey, '84; see Goldstein 2003

Description

Hungarian component of 2nd International Science Survey, consisting of 2439 women across 99 districts.

Format

A data frame with 2439 observations on the following 10 variables:

school

Identifying code for each school (level 2 unit).

female

Gender indicator: a factor with levels Male and Female.

es_core

Core Earth Sciences test result.

biol_core

Core Biology test result.

biol_r3

Optional Biology test result.

biol_r4

Optional Biology test result.

phys_core

Core Physics test result.

phys_r2

Optional Physics test result.

cons

Constant(=1).

student

Identifying code for each student (level 1 unit).

Details

The hungary1 dataset is one of the sample datasets provided with the multilevel-modelling software package MLwiN (Rasbash et al., 2009). Originally analysed in Goldstein (2003), further details can also be found in Browne (2012).
