erpcp: DNA Damage Among Welders

Description Usage Format Source References Examples

Description

Matched pairs of a welder and a control, matching for age and smoking. The values are DNA elution rates through polycarbonate filters with proteinase K (or erpcp). Data are originally from Werfel et al. (1998) and were used as an example in Rosenbaum (2007). Data are used to illustrate the senmwCI function in the sensitivitymw package.
