Unaided Distance Vision

Assessment of unaided distance vision of women in Britain.

Usage

vision

Details

Paired ordered categorical data from case-records of eye-testing of 7477 women aged 30--39 years employed by Royal Ordnance Factories in Britain during 1943--46, as given by Stuart (1953).

This data set was used by Stuart (1955) to illustrate a test of marginal homogeneity. Winell and Lindb<U+00E4>ck (2018) also used the data, demonstrating a score-independent test for ordered categorical data.

Format

A contingency table with 7477 observations on 2 variables.

Right.Eye

a factor with levels "Highest Grade", "Second Grade", "Third Grade" and "Lowest Grade".

Left.Eye

a factor with levels "Highest Grade", "Second Grade", "Third Grade" and "Lowest Grade".
