Blood plasma measurements related to total triglyceride level

Description

Data table from Table 9.11 of Hollander and Wolfe (1999). The data consists of triglyceride levels on 13 patients. Two factors, each at two levels, were recorded: Sex and Obesity. The concomitant variables are chylomicrons, age, and three lipid variables (very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL)).
