litters: Mouse Litters

Description

Data on the body and brain weights of 20 mice, together with the size of the litter. Two mice were taken from each litter size.

Usage

litters

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

lsize

litter size

bodywt

body weight

brainwt

brain weight

Examples

# NOT RUN {

pairs(litters, labels=c("lsize\n\n(litter size)", "bodywt\n\n(Body Weight)",
                        "brainwt\n\n(Brain Weight)"))
  # pairs(litters) gives a scatterplot matrix with less adequate labeling

mice1.lm <- lm(brainwt ~ lsize, data = litters) # Regress on lsize
mice2.lm <- lm(brainwt ~ bodywt, data = litters) #Regress on bodywt
mice12.lm <- lm(brainwt ~ lsize + bodywt, data = litters) # Regress on lsize & bodywt

summary(mice1.lm)$coef # Similarly for other coefficients.
# results are consistent with the biological concept of brain sparing
