Mice


Proteins play a very important role in metabolism of animals. Proteins are needed to build body tissue and to facilitate various physiological processes. Indeed animals deprived of proteins must eventually die. In this problem we try to relate level of protein intake with survival in a very simple way. If proteins are as essential as we state, then life span should be reduced if intake is too low. Will the lifespan of mice be different depending on whether they were on a very low protein diet or just low?
Notice that unit for 'life span' is missing. What can it be? Minutes, Hours, days, weeks, months, years?


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.
