The classic data set used by Gossett (publishing as Student) for the introduction of the t-test. The design was a within subjects study with hours of sleep in a control condition compared to those in 3 drug conditions. Drug1 was 06mg of L Hscyamine, Drug 2L and Drug2R were said to be .6 mg of Left and Right isomers of Hyoscine. As discussed by Zabell (2008) these were not optical isomers. The detal1, delta2L and delta2R are changes from the baseline control.
data(cushny)
A data frame with 10 observations on the following 7 variables.
Control
Hours of sleep in a control condition
drug1
Hours of sleep in Drug condition 1
drug2L
Hours of sleep in Drug condition 2
drug2R
Hours of sleep in Drug condition 3 (an isomer of the drug in condition 2
delta1
Change from control, drug 1
delta2L
Change from control, drug 2L
delta2R
Change from control, drug 2R
The original analysis by Student is used as an example for the t-test function, both as a paired t-test and a two group t-test. The data are also useful for a repeated measures analysis of variance.
