Usage

Format

A data frame. The five predictor variables are: quant, verbal, gpa, toptier and research. We can treat quant and verbal, which represent quantitative and verbal GRE scores, as continuous variables. The binary indicator variables, toptier and research, indicate whether the application is coming from a “top tier” institution and whether or not they have prior research experience. The binary indicator, Y, represents admitted (Y=1) vs. not admitted (Y=0).
