cont.crit

Criterion: Use of a contraceptive (as logical).

Values: FALSE vs. TRUE (42.7% vs. 57.3%).

Details

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.
