Feedlot data
Description
This is an unbalanced analysis-of-covariance example, where one covariate is
affected by a factor. Feeder calves from various herds enter a feedlot, where
they are fed one of three diets. The weight of the animal at entry is the
covariate, and the weight at slaughter is the response.
Usage
feedlot
Format
A data frame with 67 observations and 4 variables:
herda factor with levels 9 16 3
32 24 31 19 36 34 35
33, designating the herd that a feeder calf came from.
dieta factor with levels Low Medium
High: the energy level of the diet given the animal.
swta numeric vector: the weight of the animal at slaughter.
ewta numeric vector: the weight of the animal at entry to the feedlot.
Details
The data arise from a Western Regional Research Project conducted at New
Mexico State University. Calves born in 1975 in commercial herds entered a
feedlot as yearlings. Both diets and herds are of interest as factors. The
covariate, ewt, is thought to be dependent on herd due to
different genetic backgrounds, breeding history, etc. The levels of
herd ordered to similarity of genetic background.
Note: There are some empty cells in the cross-classification of
herd and diet.

Examples
feedlot.lm <- lm(swt ~ ewt + herd*diet, data = feedlot)
# Obtain EMMs with a separate reference value of ewt for each
# herd. This reproduces the last part of Table 2 in the reference
emmeans(feedlot.lm, ~ diet | herd, cov.reduce = ewt ~ herd)
