§Eighth-Grade Pupils in the Netherlands

§Description:

Snijders and Bosker (1999) use as a running example a study of 2287 eighth-grade pupils (aged about 11) in 132 classes in 131 schools in the Netherlands. Only the variables used in our examples are supplied.

§Usage:

nlschools

§Format:

This data frame contains 2287 rows and the following columns:

  • ‘lang’ language test score.
  • ‘IQ’ verbal IQ.
  • ‘class’ class ID.
  • ‘GS’ class size: number of eighth-grade pupils recorded in the class (there may be others: see ‘COMB’, and some may have been omitted with missing values).
  • ‘SES’ social-economic status of pupil’s family.
  • ‘COMB’ were the pupils taught in a multi-grade class (‘0/1’)? Classes which contained pupils from grades 7 and 8 are coded ‘1’, but only eighth-graders were tested.

§Examples:

nl1 <- within(nlschools, {
IQave <- tapply(IQ, class, mean)[as.character(class)]
IQ <- IQ - IQave
})
cen <- c("IQ", "IQave", "SES")
nl1[cen] <- scale(nl1[cen], center = TRUE, scale = FALSE)

nl.lme <- nlme::lme(lang ~ IQ*COMB + IQave + SES,
 random = ~ IQ | class, data = nl1)
