This data set consider information on the serum immunoglbulin G (IgG) concentration from 298 children aged 6 months to 6 years old. The data were reported by Isaacs et al. (1983). These data were further analysed by Royston and Wright (1998) and Kapitula and Bedrick (2005) using the parametric exponential normal family, which includes parameters for skew and kurtosis that can be functions of covariates.
