Analyzing NCES Data Using EdSurvey: A User’s Guide
0.1 Learning to Use EdSurvey
This user’s guide is intended for skipping around; the information is not ordered sequentially. To find help and see examples for a specific function, the question mark function allows users to get help about a function. For example, at the R prompt, after installing and loading EdSurvey, a user can get help about the downloadTIMSS function by typing ?downloadTIMSS.
