In nlme: Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models

Effect of Phenylbiguanide on Blood Pressure

Description

The PBG data frame has 60 rows and 5 columns.

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

deltaBP

a numeric vector

dose

a numeric vector

Run

an ordered factor with levels T5 < T4 < T3 < T2 < T1 < P5 < P3 < P2 < P4 < P1

Treatment

a factor with levels MDL 72222 Placebo

Rabbit

an ordered factor with levels 5 < 3 < 2 < 4 < 1

Details

Data on an experiment to examine the effect of a antagonist MDL 72222 on the change in blood pressure experienced with increasing dosage of phenylbiguanide are described in Ludbrook (1994) and analyzed in Venables and Ripley (2002, section 10.3). Each of five rabbits was exposed to increasing doses of phenylbiguanide after having either a placebo or the HD5-antagonist MDL 72222 administered.
