VinylideneLiverCancer_df: Effect of Vinylidene Fluoride on Liver Cancer

In OncoDataSets: A Comprehensive Collection of Cancer Types and Cancer-Related Datasets

Effect of Vinylidene Fluoride on Liver Cancer

Description

This dataset, VinylideneLiverCancer_df, is a data frame containing data from an experiment to investigate whether vinylidene fluoride induces liver damage. The dataset records the levels of three serum enzymes (SDH, SGOT, SGPT) under four different dosages of vinylidene fluoride. Increased serum enzyme levels are indicative of liver damage. Real data which are available on page 10 of Silvapulle and Sen (2005) and in a report prepared by Litton Bionetics Inc in 1984. These data were used in an experiment to find out whether vinylidene fluoride gives rise to liver damage.

Usage

Format

A data frame with 40 observations and 4 variables:

SDH

Serum enzyme SDH levels (integer).

Serum enzyme SGOT levels (integer).

SGPT

Serum enzyme SGPT levels (integer).

dose

Dose of vinylidene fluoride administered (factor with 4 levels).

Details

The dataset name has been kept as 'VinylideneLiverCancer_df' to avoid confusion with other datasets in the R ecosystem. This naming convention helps distinguish this dataset as part of the OncoDataSets package and assists users in identifying its specific characteristics. The suffix '_df' indicates that the dataset is a data frame. The original content has not been modified in any way.
