daphniastrat: Stratified random sample of daphnia counts.

daphniastratR Documentation

Stratified random sample of daphnia counts.

Description

These data are from a stratified random sample from three layers of a lake: epilimnion, thermocline, and hypolimnion. The volumes of these layers are approximately 100kL, 200kL, and 400kL respectively, so that the sampling fractions are 1/7, 2/7, and 4/7, respectively. The sampling units are one liter containers of water, and the target variable is daphnia per liter.

Usage

daphniastrat

Format

A data frame with 45 observations and two variables:

layer:

layer from which the water sample was taken

count:

number of daphnia in the liter of water
