NAME:  Computer Science Student Success
TYPE:  Sample
SIZE:  224 observations, 9 variables

DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT:
 The computer science department at a large university was
 interested in why a large proportion of their first-year students
 failed to graduate as computer science majors.  An examination of
 records from the registrar indicated that most of the attrition
 occurred during the first three semesters.  Therefore, they decided
 to study all first-year students entering their program in a
 particular year and to follow their progress for the first three
 semesters.

 Data on 224 students who began study in computer science were
 collected.  The variables collected include the GPA after 3
 semesters, sex, high school math, science, and English grades, math
 and verbal SAT scores, and their major
 at the end of three semesters (\code{major} - 1 for computer
 science, 2 for engineering and other sciences, and 3 for other).
