Description

Generate a fake data set with covariates age, sex, and zip code.

Usage

1

Arguments

n

The number of population units.

Details

This simulation is vaguely inspired by the French dataset on multiple sclerosis prevalence (El Adssi et. al., 2012). It is used to create a three-list capture-recapture system with unit-level independence between lists. Capture probabilities are constant (for simplicity!) across lists, but not across population units. The heterogeneity is a function of the covariates: age, sex, and zip code. We code zip here as ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’.

Value

pop

A data.frame containing the covariates and capture histories associated with each observed unit.
