PsychTestData {test2norm}

Neuropsychological test data

Description

A simulated data containing raw test scores and demographic characteristics for 250 persons, 200 in the control group and 50 in the test group. The raw test scores are to be converted to demographically corrected normed scores, adjusting for effects of age and sex. The control group is used to generate the norming formulas, which are then applied to all scores.
