Description

Count/Percentage of chromosome aberrations in atomic bombs survivors.

Format

A data.frame containing 1039 observations on the following 5 variables:

y.perc

the percentage of cells with chromosomal abnormalities.

y

the number of cells with chromosomal abnormalities.

n

the number of analyzed cells. It is fixed to 100 for all the survivors.

dose

a quantitative measure of the radiation exposure level, expressed in rads.

bomb

a factor, indicating which bomb the subject survived (H = Hiroshima, N = Nagasaki).

The data have been originally analyzed by Otake and Prentice (1984) and successively by Ascari and Migliorati (2021).
