Data from an experiment on the growth of turkeys. 60 pens of turkeys were grown with a similar diet, supplemented with a dose of methionine from one of three sources. The response is average pen weight. Recorded is dose, source, m, always 5 except for dose=0, average weight gain, and within group SS.
In his original paper, Forbes provided additional data collected by the botanist Dr. Joseph Hooker on temperatures and boiling points measured often at higher altitudes in the Himalaya Mountains.
An experiment was conducted to study the O2UP, oxygen uptake in milligrams of oxygen per minute, given five chemical measurements: biological oxygen demand (BOD), total Kjeldah nitrogen (TKN), total solids (TS), total vital solids (TVS), which is a component of TS, and chemical oxygen demand (COD), each measured in milligrams per liter (Moore, 1975).
For each person on board the fatal maiden voyage of the ocean liner Titanic, this dataset records sex, age (adult/child), economic status (first/second/third class, or crew) and whether or not that person survived.
78 bluegills were captured from Lake Mary, Minnesota. On each fish, a key scale was removed. The age of a fish is determined by counting the number of annular rings on the scale. The goal is to relate length at capture to the radius of the scale.
