Data Sets

Note: All of my data sets are SAS files that are zipped using Winzip. They work with versions 8 and 9 of SAS. They may be downloaded and used freely for analysis by others. Published research using these data sets should include a normal attribution as well as a disclaimer saying that any errors in analysis are the responsibility of the researchers (i.e., not me).
