In pvrank: Rank Correlations

Description

U.S. and international data provide evidence for a paradox: the happiest places tend to have the highest suicide rates.

Usage

data(Dalyww)

Format

A data frame with 51 observations on the following four variables.

SRU

Suicide rate (unadjusted).

ASHR

Adjusted suicide hazard ratio.

RCLS

Raw coefficients on life satisfaction.

ACLS

Adjusted coefficients on life satisfaction.

Details

Assessing the correlation across states between their suicide rankings and their life satisfaction rankings allows us to get a better sense of the correlation between the two while still retaining all observations, including the states that are apparent outliers.
