In cvcrand: Efficient Design and Analysis of Cluster Randomized Trials

#' @title Raw county-level variables for study 1 in Dickinson et al (2015)
#' @description
#'   Two approaches (interventions) were compared for increasing the "up-to-date" immunization rate
#'  in 19- to 35-month-old children. 16 counties in Colorado 1:1 were randomized 1:1 to either a
#'  population-based approach or a practice-based approach. Ahead of randomization, several
#'  county-level variables were collected, and a subset of them are used for covariate constrained
#'  randomization. The continuous variable of average income is categorized into tertiles to illustrate the
#'  use of cvcrand on multi-category variables. And the percentage in CIIS variable is truncated at 100%.
#' @docType data
#' @format A data frame with 16 rows and 11 variables:

#'   \item{county}{the identification for the county}
#'   \item{location}{urban or rural}
#'   \item{inciis}{percentage of children aged 19-35 months in the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS)}
#'   \item{numberofchildrenages1935months}{number of children aged 19-35 months}
#'   \item{uptodateonimmunizations}{percentage of children already up-to-date on their immunization}
#'   \item{africanamerican}{percentage of population that is African American}
#'   \item{hispanic}{percentage of population that is Hispanic}
#'   \item{income}{average income}
