Details

The ECLS-K:2011 offers a comprehensive and detailed set of information about children's early life experiences, focusing on children's health, development, education, and experiences in the years leading up to kindergarten.

The sample dataset included in this package is used for demonstrating the functionality of the package's functions and it does not include survey weights. In real analysis, the complex survey weights provided by NCES should be utilized appropriately, for instance, as done in R packages such as lavaan.survey or EdSurvey if not using SEM.
