#' Simulated Sesame Street Data
#'
#' This is a simulated counterpart of part of the Sesame Street data presented
#' by Stevens (1996, Appendix A) concerning
#' the effect of the first year of the Sesame street series on the knowledge of
#' 240 children in the age range
#' 34 to 69 months. We will use the following variables: sex; site of child's
#' origin; setting in which Sesame Street
#' is watched; age; whether or not the child is encouraged to watch; Peabody
#' metal age score; score on numbers test
#' before, after and in a follow up measurement; and scores on knowledge of
#' body parts, letters, forms, numbers, relations,
#' and classifications, both before and after watching Sesame Street for a year.
