Data sets underlying the manuscript "The proportion of non-depressed subjects in a study sample strongly affects the results of psychometric analyses of depression symptoms" (doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0235272). The file "data_table1.rds" contains the data underlying table 1 of the manuscript, whereas the file "data_figure1.rds" contains the data underlying figure 1. Both files are stored in RDS-format, which is a data format used in the programming language R. RDS-files can be loaded using R with the function readRDS(). Note that "data_figure1.rds" is a list of 22 elements. Elements 1, 21, and 22 are original data sets (depressed subjects, general population, and nondepressed subjects, respectively), while the remaining elements are lists each containing 500 newly generated data sets as described in the method section of the manuscript.
