Finney data from 'Annals of Eugenics' 1947

Description

Finney data over 39 observations on occurence or not of vaso-constriction. The data were obtained in a study of the effect of the rate and volume of air inspired on a transcient vaso-constriction in the skin of the digits. The R function, plotFdat, for plotting the variables is included in the list.

Usage

data(Finney)

Format

A list with the following components

Resp

Occurence (Resp=1) or not (Resp=0) of vaso-constriction

Vol

Volume of air inspired

Rate

Observed Rate

plotFdat

R function for plotting the response and explanatory variables
