The Effect of Special Preparation on SAT-V Scores in Eight Randomized Experiments
Description
You've all seen these before. These are the "eight schools" that everyone gets when
being introduced to Bayesian programming. Here are the full data for your consideration,
which you can use instead of awkwardly searching where the data are and copy-pasting
them as a list. Every damn time, Steve.
Usage
eight_schools
Format
A data frame with 8 observations on the following 6 variables.
schoola letter denoting the school
num_treatthe number of students in the school receiving the treatment
num_controlthe number of students in the school in the control group
estthe estimated treatment effect
sethe standard error of the effect estimate
rvarthe residual variance
Details
Data copy-pasted from Table 1 in Rubin (1981).
