Rabbit


Birds of prey such as eagles or falcons catch a prey animal and then take it to a suitable place (nest if young ones are to be fed), remove inedible portion (feathers or bones etc) and then eat the meat. Remaining material is dropped to the ground. If some indigestible material is   swallowed, it is formed into a ball and regurgitated. All such residues dropped down by the predator can provide good clues to its dietary patterns. Rabbits are common prey of eagles. One inedible portion of a rabbit's body is a hind foot. An ornithologist studied the relationship between foot length and total body mass in rabbits. The idea was that by observing the foot length, one might be able to estimate the meat intake.

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.
