On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the mdvis data set which pertains to mdvis. The mdvis data set is found in the COUNT R package. You can load the mdvis data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("mdvis"). This will load the data into a variable called mdvis. If R says the mdvis data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("COUNT") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command.

mdvis
Description
Data from a subset of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The subset was created by Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal (2005). Only working women are included in these data. Beginning in 1997, German health reform in part entailed a 200 co-payment as well as limits in provider reimbursement. Patients were surveyed for the one year panel (1996) prior to and the one year panel (1998) after reform to assess whether the number of physician visits by patients declined - which was the goal of reform legislation. The response, or variable to be explained by the model, is numvisit, which indicates the number of patient visits to a physician's office during a three month period.
