Rubella data

Description

A dataset on the prevalence of rubella in 230 Austrian males older than three months for whom the exact date of birth was known. Each individual was tested at the Institute of Virology, Vienna during the period March 1 to 25, 1988 for immunization against Rubella.

This data set is taken from the package "curstatCI" version 0.1.0. Unfortunately that package is no longer on active list of CRAN. We need the data set for several examples, so we copy the data set here.

This data set is in the short format. You can convert from short to long format by using code S2L().

Usage

Format

A data frame with 225 rows and three variables:
