prgeng: Silicon Valley programmers and engineers data

In matloff/prVis: Polynomial-Based Visualization

Description

This data set is adapted from the 2000 Census (5% sample, person records). It is mainly restricted to programmers and engineers in the Silicon Valley area. (Apparently due to errors, there are some from other ZIP codes.)

There are three versions:

• prgeng, the original data, with categorical variables, e.g. Occupation, in their original codes

• peDumms, same but with categorical variables converted to dummies; due to the large number of levels the birth and PUMA data is not included

• peFactors, same but with categorical variables converted to factors

The variable codes, e.g. occupational codes, are available from the Census Bureau, at http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2000/doc/pums.pdf. (Short code lists are given in the record layout, but longer ones are in the appendix Code Lists.)

The variables are:

• age, with a U(0,1) variate added for jitter

• cit, citizenship; 1-4 code various categories of citizens; 5 means noncitizen (including permanent residents)

• educ: 01-09 code no college; 10-12 means some college; 13 is a bachelor's degree, 14 a master's, 15 a professional degree and 16 is a doctorate

• occ, occupation

• birth, place of birth

• wageinc, wage income

• wkswrkd, number of weeks worked

• yrentry, year of entry to the U.S. (0 for natives)

• powpuma, location of work

• gender, 1 for male, 2 for female
