contraceptiveA data frame containing 1473 cases (rows) and 10 variables (columns).

Criterion: Use of a contraceptive (as logical).
Values: FALSE vs. TRUE (42.7% vs. 57.3%).
The samples describe married women who were either not pregnant or do not know if they were pregnant at the time of the interview.
The problem consists in predicting a woman's current contraceptive method choice
(here: binarized cont.crit)
based on her demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
We made the following enhancements to the original data for improved usability:
The criterion was binarized from a class attribute variable with three levels (1=No-use, 2=Long-term, 3=Short-term) , into a logical variable with two levels (TRUE vs. FALSE).
Other than that, the data remains consistent with the original dataset.
