Estonian data

[mcfrank]

From Ada Urm:

As it turns out, it took a bit longer to get the datasets ready and checked. So here I have added the Estonian CDI: Words and Sentences dataset (in .csv format). I have included in a separate file the translated scale items according to the current dataset. I also included the ECDI2 form.

Since the data is licensed under our university it may not be used for commercial purposes.

If our datasets are used the following sources need to be credited:

Urm, A., & Tulviste, T. (2016). Sources of individual variation in Estonian toddlers’ expressive vocabulary. First Language, 36(6), 580-600.

Tulviste, T. (2007). Variation in vocabulary development among Estonian children as a function of child’s gender, birth order, child-care, and parental education. In M Eriksson (Ed.), Proceedings from the First European Network Meeting on the Communicative Development Inventories (pp. 16-21). Gävle, Sweden: University of Gävle.

I am ready to answer any questions regarding the dataset and help out in any way I can.

@alvinwmtan when I try to download the Estonian_WS.CSV file I am getting invalid characters, for example:

item_5,sounds,mŠŠ,mŠŠ,produces,word,baa,baa baa

According to the data file this item should be: mää (Is this correct?)

Can you confirm that is right and trying loading a file that you can download with the correct characters. If you can't, can you tell me what character set you're using and I'll try to convert to utf-8 I think it probably the way you've saved the file.

Also, what citation should I use?

@HenryMehta sorry about that, here's the UTF-8 version: [Estonian_WS].csv

@alvinwmtan word tulevik, row 1070 has the value 3 which isn't specified in the values file. What do you want 3 coded as?

[alvinwmtan]

@HenryMehta let's code 3 as NA (error).
