In SASmixed: Data sets from "SAS System for Mixed Models"

Description

The SIMS data frame has 3691 rows and 3 columns.

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

Pretot

a numeric vector giving the student's pre-test total score

Gain

a numeric vector giving gains from pre-test to the final test

Class

an ordered factor giving the student's class
