methionine: Weight gain for different methionine sources
In drc: Analysis of Dose-Response Curves

Description Usage Format Details Source Examples

Data consist of average body weight gain of chickens being treated with one of the two methionine sources DLM and HMTBA.

1	data(methionine)

A data frame with 9 observations on the following 3 variables:

product: a factor with levels control, DLM and MHA denoting the treatments
dose: a numeric vector of methionine dose
gain: a numeric vector of average body weight gain

The dataset contains a common control measurement for the two treatments. More examples using this dataset are found under AR.2 and MM.2.
