Usage

data(atus80int)

Format

A data frame with 124,704 observations on the following 4 variables:

Events

Type of event. See details.

Time

Cumulative time that an event occurred. See details.

TUCASEID

Respondent unique identification number.

SEX

Sex of respondent. 1=Males.

Details

Each general sequential activity spell in the American Time Use Survey for respondents aged 80 and over was split into “starting” and “stopping” events.

The timing variable marks the instantaneous “time” of event occurrence in minutes beginning at time 0 and ending at time t (which is usually 1400). Because simultaneous events are not allowed one thousandth of a minute is added to the starting time of each activity spell after the first spell.
