#' Liver Enzyme Data
#'
#' Liver enzyme data collected from 218 patients with liver disease (Plomteux, 1980).
#' The laboratory profile consists of enzymatic activity measured for four liver enzymes:
#' aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH)
#' and ornithine carbamyltransferase (OCT).
