GMAT2test: Dataset based on GMAT.

Description

The GMAT2test is a generated dataset based on parameters from Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT, Kingston et al., 1985). First two items were considered to function differently in uniform and non-uniform way respectively. The data set represents responses of 1,000 subjects to multiple-choice test of 20 items. Aditionally, 4 possible answers on all items were generated, coded A, B, C, and D. The column group represents group membership, where 0 indicates reference group and 1 indicates focal group. Groups are the same size (i.e. 500 per group).
