Mammals


Generally larger the animal larger is its brain size. But some species may be exceptional. The question of interest is 'does birth weight predict brain size?' (Data are averages for different mammal species). If there are any exceptional cases, find out which species they are.

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.
