#' Data from the 1998 Scottish Health Survey on cardiovascular disease status of
#' 8804 respondents
#' 
#' Data from the 1998 Scottish Health Survey, with 8804 respondents aged between
#' 18 and 64. The outcome, \code{cvddef}, is a self-report of a doctor-diagnosed
#' cardiovascular disease (CVD) condition (angina, diabetes, hypertension, acute
#' myocardial infarction, etc.). This is a binary response, whether (1) or not
#' (0) respondents have CVD condition.
#' 
#' The \code{data-cvd} dataset is one of the example datasets analysed in
#' Leyland and Groenewegen (2020), and provided with the
#' multilevel-modelling software package MLwiN (Rasbash et al., 2009).
