Test A fails: c.1949 is after 1930 and it is a Canadian Crown work, not a US federal work (so 17 USC 105 does not apply); test B was left open because A already decides it.

The data it needs

  • date sequence · temporal · date
  • age position in panel B · quantitative · years
  • height position in panel A · quantitative · in or cm
  • weight position in panel A · quantitative · lb or kg
  • sex selects the reference schedules · categorical
