Released: 2013-11-21

New Features

• A more complete version of the Gen1 links are included. 95% of all Gen1 Housemates have been linked.
• Added function ReadCsvNlsy79Gen1().

Updates

• R now has missing values for Gen1 pairs if the 1979 roster (e.g., R00001.51) doesn’t indicate they’re the same generation.
• The naming scheme for the Links79Pair and Links79PairExpanded datasets is more consistent across variables. For variables that are measured separately for both subjects (eg, Gender), the subjects’ variable name will have an _S1 or _S2 appended to it. For instance, the variables LastSurvey_S1 and LastSurvey_S2 correspond to the last surveys completed by the pair’s first and second subject, respectively.
• The functions CreatePairLinksDoubleEntered and CreatePairLinksSingleEntered now append _S1 and _S2 instead of _1 and _2, by default. However this can be modified using the subject1Qualifier and subject2Qualifier parameters.
• Updated reference manual, ACE vignette, and FAQ.
