Hare: Snowshoe Hare

In astsa: Applied Statistical Time Series Analysis

Snowshoe Hare

Description

This is one of the classic studies of predator-prey interactions, the 90-year data set is the number, in thousands, of snowshoe hare pelts purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company of Canada. While this is an indirect measure of predation, the assumption is that there is a direct relationship between the number of pelts collected and the number of hare and lynx in the wild.

Usage

data("Hare")

Format

The format is: Time-Series [1:91] from 1845 to 1935: 19.6 19.6 19.6 12 28 ...

Note

This data set pairs with Lynx. The data are in units of one thousand.
