Sample Files
You may download sample files onto your personal computer in order to check your syntax and debug your programs before submitting them via LISSY. Sample files are for instructional purposes only; do not draw substantive conclusions based on these files. These artificial samples contain sub-samples of two LIS and LWS datasets and consist of a random selection households and their respective household members.
