Description Usage Format Source Examples
This is a 181,335 by 13 data frame containing information collected in the CPS about all individuals who were selected for and responded to the ATUS. The 'tucaseid' variable identifies unique households. Note that the information collected in this dataset was done so 2 to 5 months before the ATUS interview. Variables containing no more than 80% values missing were considered for inclusion, especially those found on the ATUS Frequently Used Variables list. The original CPS-ATUS file online contains information on all household members selected to participate in the ATUS; for the purpose of minimizing the size of the R package, we removed all non-respondents.
