Details

This tbc data set is a random subset of persons from a much larger collection of data from the Terneuzen Birth Cohort. The total cohort comprises of 2604 unique persons, whereas the subset in tbc covers 306 persons. The tbc.target is an auxiliary data set containing two outcomes at adult age. For more details, see De Kroon et al (2008, 2010, 2011). The imputation methodology is explained in Chapter 9 of Van Buuren (2012).
