#' Number of eggs laid daily from medflies
#'
#' A dataset containing the eggs laid from 789 medflies (Mediterranean fruit flies,
#'  Ceratitis capitata) during the first 25 days of their lives. This is a subset of 
#' the dataset used by Carey at al. (1998); only flies that lived at least 25 days 
#' are included, i.e, at the end of the recording period [0,25] all flies are still alive.
