In drc: Analysis of Dose-Response Curves

Description

Dataset from an experiment exploring the effect of increasing concentrations of a herbicide on the volume of the treated algae.

Usage

data(algae)

Format

A data frame with 14 observations on the following 2 variables.

conc

a numeric vector of concentrations.

vol

a numeric vector of response values, that is relative change in volume.

Details

This datasets requires a cubic root transformation in order to stabilise the variance.
