baboon.parms_df

A dataset containing summary statistics for low density lipoprotein (LDL) and
apolipoprotein B (apo B) levels in 604 baboons measured on two different diets:
a basal diet and a high cholesterol, saturated fat diet. The baboons were
classified into one of two subspecies and a hybrid of the two subspecies
(Papio hamadryas anubis, P.h. cynocephalus, or hybrid). Each animal was
measured on each of the two diets.

datasets

Offers a solution for the unavailability of raw data in most anthropological studies by facilitating the calculations of several sexual dimorphism related analyses using the published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Relethford, J. H., & Hodges, D. C. (1985) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330660105>, Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.
