baboon.parms_list

A dataset containing summary statistics for low density lipoprotein (LDL) and
apolipoprotein-B (apo-B) levels in 604 baboons measured on two different
diets: a basal diet 'chow' and a high cholesterol, saturated fat diet 'pink'
(HCSF). The baboons were classified into one of three subspecies (Papio
hamadryas anubis, P.h. cynocephalus, or anubistcynocephalus hybrid). Each
animal was measured on each of the two diets.

Provides two approaches of comparison; the univariate and the multivariate analysis in two or more populations. Since the main obstacle of performing systematic comparisons in anthropological studies is the absence of raw data, the current package offer a solution for this problem by allowing the use of published summary statistics of metric data (mean, standard deviation and sex specific sample size) as illustrated by the works of Greene, D. L. (1989) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330790113> and Konigsberg, L. W. (1991) <doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330840110>.
