#' Human body temperature data and heartrate
#'
#' Physiology data originally from Mackowiak et al (1992).  Developed as a demonstration for
#' t-tests by Shoemaker (1996) and also used by Motulsky (2014).
#'
#' @format A data frame with 2 columns:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{temp}{body temperature in degrees F}
#'   \item{sex}{sex of individual}
#'   \item{heartrate}{heartrate in beats per minute}
#' }
