Atomic bombs data
Description
Count/Percentage of chromosome aberrations in atomic bombs survivors.
Format
A data.frame containing 1039 observations on the following 5 variables:
y.percthe percentage of cells with chromosomal abnormalities.
ythe number of cells with chromosomal abnormalities.
nthe number of analyzed cells. It is fixed to 100 for all the survivors.
dosea quantitative measure of the radiation exposure level, expressed in rads.
bomba factor, indicating which bomb the subject survived (H = Hiroshima, N = Nagasaki).
Details
The data have been originally analyzed by Otake and Prentice (1984) and successively by Ascari and Migliorati (2021).
