Details
The samples describe married women who were either not pregnant or do not know if they were pregnant at the time of the interview.
The problem consists in predicting a woman's current contraceptive method choice
(here: binarized cont.crit)
based on her demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
We made the following enhancements to the original data for improved usability:
The criterion was binarized from a class attribute variable with three levels (
1 = No-use,2 = Long-term,3 = Short-term), into a logical variable (TRUEvs.FALSE).
Other than that, the data remains consistent with the original dataset.
