Chicks' weight data

Description

This real data is reported by Chang and Yen (2011). Eighteen chicks were randomly assigned to three treatments with six chicks in each for balanced data.

Usage

data("chicks")

Format

A data frame with 18 observations on the following 2 variables.

diet

Diets of different protein content

weight

Chicks' weight (in grams)

Details

Treatment 1 (Diet 1) had the diet with the lowest level of protein; treatment 2 (Diet 2) had the diet with a medium level of protein; and treatment 3 (Diet 3) had the diet with the highest level of protein. Does the average weight of chicks increase with the amount of protein? Hypothesis is being investigated.

Hypertension data

Description

This data presented by Dmitrienko et al. (2006) is to examine the effect of different drug doses on diastolic blood pressure.

Usage

data("hypertension")

Format

A data frame with 68 observations on the following 2 variables.

doseLevel

Dose levels: A: Placebo, B: Dose 10 mg/day, C: Dose 20 mg/day, D: Dose 40 mg/day

rdbp

Mean reduction in diastolic blood pressure

Details

Patients with hypertension were randomized into four groups with different dose levels, 0, 10, 20, and 40 mg/day, where the group with 0 mg/day was the placebo group. The number of patients in each group were 17, 17, 18, and 16, respectively. The complete data can be found at the Dmitrienko et al.(2006) or Shan et al. (2014).
