infantGrowth

Measurement of the length of the tibia for the first 40 days of life
  for one infant.

datasets

These functions were developed to support functional data
        analysis as described in Ramsay, J. O. and Silverman, B. W.
        (2005) Functional Data Analysis. New York: Springer.  They were
        ported from earlier versions in Matlab and S-PLUS.  An
        introduction appears in Ramsay, J. O., Hooker, Giles, and
        Graves, Spencer (2009) Functional Data Analysis with R and
        Matlab (Springer). The package includes data sets and script
        files working many examples including all but one of the 76
        figures in this latter book.  Matlab versions of the code and
        sample analyses are no longer distributed through CRAN, as they
        were when the book was published.  For those, ftp from
        http://www.psych.mcgill.ca/misc/fda/downloads/FDAfuns/
        There you find a set of .zip files containing the functions and
        sample analyses, as well as two .txt files giving instructions for
        installation and some additional information.

    <item>tibiaLength</item>{
      The average of five measurements of tibia length in millimeters
    }
    <item>sd.length</item>{
      The standard deviation of five measurements of tibia length in
      millimeters
    }
