Usage

data(energy)

Format

A data frame with 104 observations on the following 3 variables.

Energy

the energy expenditure (units not given); a numeric vector

Fat

the mass of fat tissue (units not given); a numeric vector

NonFat

the mass of fat-free tissue (units not given); a numeric vector

Details

The data give the energy expenditure for 104 females at rest over a 24 hour period; the mass of fat and fat-free tissue was also recorded.

Note that the total mass of each subject is the sum of the fat and fat-free tissue masses.
