Supports for Microdata in the MDM4U Datasets Folder
This folder contains two types of datasets: micro-data files and macro-data files. In the micro-data files, each case represents the data for one person. In the macro-data files, each case represents summary or average data for a group of persons within a specific region (e.g. municipality) or for a specific year.
