Format

A data frame containing 1190 observations (n = 1190) and 6 variables (p = 6) measured on the binary scale (Fowlkes et al. 1988) . These data have been analyzed in Tarantola (2004) and in (Madigan and Raftery 1994) . The variable descriptions were copied from (section 5.2 ) (section 5.2, Talhouk et al. 2012)
