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.
