UC Berkeley Graduate Admissions Microdata

Description

The dataset UCBAdmissions, distributed with the R datasets package, is a three-dimensional array that classifies applicants to graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973 by sex, department, and admission status. That table, first published by Bickel et al. (1975), is frequently used in textbooks and statistics courses to illustrate Simpson's paradox. This dataset, microUCBAdmissions is a simulated data frame with three factors and one row per individual; when the factors are tabulated, they reproduce the frequencies in UCBAdmissions.
