(Package: logcondens) :
Bright star dataset used to illustrate log-concave density estimation
Dataset that contains the data analyzed in Mizera and Koenker (2009, Section 5). The sample consists of measurements of radial and rotational velocities for the stars from the Bright Star Catalog, see Hoffleit and Warren (1991).
pancreas
(Package: logcondens) :
Data from pancreatic cancer serum biomarker study
First published by Wieand et al (1989), this dataset contains data on serum measurements for a cancer antigen (CA-125) and a carbohydrate antigen (CA19.9) both of which are measured on a continuous non-negative scale. The measurements were taken within a case-control study on 90 cases with pancreatic cancer and 51 controls who did not have cancer but pancreatitis. The primary question of the study was which one of the two biomarkers best distinguishes cases from controls.
