Lung


That smoking causes cancer, is widely known. What is not so well known is that even when you escape cancer, chronic smoking can have an adverse effect on ability of lungs. In a clinical trial, a drug for improving lung capacity was administered in two localities to a number of patients. Lung capacity index was measured before and after treatment of one week. The objective is to test efficacy of the drug after discounting for differences between patients and localities. 


datasets

Collection of datasets as prepared by Profs. A.P. Gore, S.A. Paranjape, and M.B. Kulkarni of Department of Statistics, Poona University, India. With their permission, first letter of their names forms the name of this package, the package has been built by me and made available for the benefit of R users. This collection requires a rich class of models and can be a very useful building block for a beginner.
