Details

Contains data about at-risk infants from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey (NMIHS), described in Korn and Graubard (1999, Example 4.3-1). The design used birth certificates to oversample low birthweight infants. Fuller (2009, Example 6.3.1) simulated a five-per-stratum de- sign with 18 strata (90 observations) to mimic properties of NMIHS, and we used those data to generate parameter values for our simulation.
