zebrafish | R Documentation |
The data consists on measurements from an experimental study on larval zebrafish, which were startled by an imitating predator consisting on a robot disguised as an adult zebrafish. The dataset includes 502 observations corresponding to the escape directions of each fish and the angles in which the zebrafish perceive the threat.
data("zebrafish")
A data frame with 502 observations on the following 2 variables.
stimulus
A numeric vector containing the angles of stimulus (in radians)
res_angle
A numeric vector containing the directions of escape (in radians)
Analysis of the zebrafish data with circular regression methods can be seen in Alonso-Pena et al. (2022).
The data were obtained from the Dryad Digital Repository doi: 10.5061/dryad.47mq9 and first analyzed in Nair et al. (2017).
