Data from an psychiatric screening questionnaire
data("GHQ")
A data frame with 22 observations on the following 4 variables.
GHQ
sex
female
and male
cases
non.cases
The data arise from a study of a psychiatric screening questionnaire called the GHQ (General Health Questionnaire, see Goldberg, 1972). Here the main question of interest is to see how caseness is related to gender and GHQ score.
