The Krauth & Lienert suicide Data

Description

Data from the Krauth & Lienert suicide example for CFA (see Tables 39a and 39b; Krauth & Lienert, 1973). The data describe suicide patterns in pre- and post-WWII Germany – see von Eye, A., (2002); p. 385.

Geschlecht: 'm' = 1 (male); 'w' = 2 (female)

Suizidart: 'Eh' = 1(hang); 'Es' = 2 (shoot); 'Et' = 3(drown); 'G' = 4(gas); 'H' = 5(crashing down); 'P' = 6(open vein); 'S' = 7(barbiturate);
