Esophageal cancer data modified slightly to create a balanced three-way
factorial design
Description
Breslow and Day (1980) studied the effect of age, tobacco, and
alcohol on esophageal cancer rates at Ile-et-Vilaine, France. Data
are altered slightly to make the design balanced, and to allow enough degrees
of freedom to perform a fully factorial three way ANOVA.
Usage
data(e.cancer)
Format
The dataset contains four variables:
- age grp.
age group, a factor with four levels: "25-34", "35-44", "45-54", "55-64", and "65-74".
- alcohol
alcohol consumed (g/day).
- tobacco
tobacco consumed (g/day).
- cases
number of esophageal cancer cases.
