concen: Twins Trouble Concentrating Data

Description

Monozygotic and dizygotic twins trouble concentrating data

Usage

data(concen)

Format

A data frame with 16 observations on the following 6 variables.

ID

a numeric vector indicating the unique twin pair ID

TConcen

an indicator variable representing trouble concentrating (0 = absent, 1 = present)

int

a numeric vector of ones; used in the stand-alone MIXOR program to represent the intercept

Mz

an indicator variable representing MZ twins (1 = MZ, 0 = DZ)

Dz

an indicator variable representing DZ twins (1 = DZ, 0 = MZ)

freq

a numeric vector representing the frequency of the pattern
