A Data Set for Cgam
Description
This data set is used for the routine plotpersp. It contains 314 observations of blood plasma, beta carotene measurements along with several covariates. High levels of blood plasma and beta carotene are believed to be protective against cancer, and it is of interest to determine the relationships with covariates.
Usage
data(plasma)
Format
logplasmaA numeric vector of the logarithm of plasma levels.
betacaroA numeric vector of dietary beta carotene consumed mcg per day.
bmiA numeric vector of BMI values.
cholestA numeric vector of cholesterol consumed mg per day.
dietfatA numeric vector of the logarithm of grams of diet fat consumed per day.
fiberA numeric vector of grams of fiber consumed per day.
retinolA numeric vector of retinol consumed per day.
smokeA numeric vector of smoking status (1=Never, 2=Former, 3=Current Smoker).
vituseA numeric vector of vitamin use (1=Yes, fairly often, 2=Yes, not often, 3=No).
