vaso: Gilliatt's vaso-constriction data

In SMIR: Companion to Statistical Modelling in R

Description

These data were obtained in a carefully controlled study of the effect of the rate and volume of air inspired by human subjects on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transient vasoconstriction response in the skin of the fingers.

Usage

data(vaso)

Format

A data.frame of 39 obs. of 4 variables:

[,1]	Subject	Factor w/ 3 levels "1","2","3", ...
[,2]	Volume	numeric, volume of air expired
[,3]	Rate	numeric, rate of air expired
[,4]	Y	integer, transient vasoconstriction response, 1=yes, 0=no
