Survival data set of chronic laboratory toxicity tests with Daphnia magna freshwater invertebrate exposed to six concentrations of one oxidizing agent (potassium dichromate) during 21 days. Six concentrations were tested with one replicate of 50 organisms per concentration. Survival is monitored at 10 time points.
data(dichromate)
A data frame with 60 observations on the following four variables:
replicate
A vector of class numeric
with the
replicate code (1
).
conc
A vector of
class numeric
with dichromate concentrations in \(mg.L^{-1}\).
time
A vector of class integer
with the time points
(in days from the beginning of the experiment \(t = 0\)).
Nsurv
A vector of class integer
with the number of
alive individuals at each time point for each concentration and each
replicate.
