Project 3

The table "How Often Drank Any Alcohol in Last 12 Months" uses categorical variables to measure someone's drinking habits with the following code.

1.     Every day

2.     Nearly every day

3.     3 to 4 times a week

4.     2 times a week

5.     Once a week

6.     2 to 3 times a week

7.     Once a month

8.     7 to 11 times in the last year

9.     3 to 6 times in the last year

10.  1 or 2 times in the last year

11.  Former Drinker or Abstainer
Missing Frequency means Unknown response

I collapsed the classes into 3 based on even distribution of people of varying family incomes. I collapsed the "Number of Drinks" with an upper limit. For example, in "Number of Drinks of any Alcohol consumed on days when drank alcohol" I collapsed all responses greater than 7 into the number 7.
