A structured subset of the 2009 to 2010 NHANES data designed for illustrating constrained survey estimation methods.
data(nhdat)A data frame with 1,680 observations on the following 7 variables:
idCluster identifier derived from NHANES sequence number (SEQN).
cholBinary indicator of high total cholesterol: 1 if total cholesterol > 200 mg/dL, 0 otherwise. Derived from LBXTC in TCHOL_F.XPT.
wcatFour-level ordinal variable for waist to height ratio category, based on BMXWAIST and BMXHT from BMX_F.XPT.
genderGender of the participant (1 = male, 2 = female), from RIAGENDR in DEMO_F.XPT.
ageAge in years (continuous), from RIDAGEYR in DEMO_F.XPT.
wtSampling weight within strata, based on WTINT2YR from DEMO_G.XPT.
strStratum identifier, based on SDMVPSU from DEMO_G.XPT.
This subset includes participants aged 21 to 45 years, selected for illustrating the estimation of the probability of high cholesterol using order constrained survey methods.
