Relative Frequencies of Serum Proteins in White Pekin Ducklings

Description

Relative frequencies of serum proteins in white Pekin ducklings as determined by electrophoresis.

Usage

data(ducklings)

Format

The format is: chr "ducklings"

Details

Columns p1, p2, p3 stand for pre-albumin, albumin, globulins respectively. These were collected from 3-week old white Pekin ducklings. Let Y_1 be proportional to the total milligrams of pre-albumin in the blood serum of a duckling. Similarly, let Y_2 and Y_3 be directly proportional to the same factor as Y_1 to the total milligrams respectively of albumin and globulins in its blood serum. The proportion of pre-albumin is given by Y_1/(Y_1 + Y_2 + Y_3), and similarly for the others.
