iqdat: Twin data: IQ measured longitudinally across 4 ages.

Description

Measures of IQ across four ages in 261 pairs of identical twins and 301 pairs of fraternal (DZ) twins. (see details). It is used as data for the [umxSimplex()] examples.

Usage

data(iqdat)

Format

A data frame with 562 rows (twin families). Nine measures on each twin.

• IQ_age1_T1 T1 IQ measured at age 1

• IQ_age2_T1 T1 IQ measured at age 2

• IQ_age3_T1 T1 IQ measured at age 3

• IQ_age4_T1 T1 IQ measured at age 4

• IQ_age1_T2 T2 IQ measured at age 1
