This dataset, brain_litter_mammals_df, is a data frame comparing relative brain weights
between 96 mammalian species divided by reproductive strategy: 51 species with small litters
(\(< 2\) offspring) and 45 species with large litters (\(\geq 2\) offspring).
data(brain_litter_mammals_df)A data frame with 96 observations and 2 variables:
Numeric: Relative brain weight measurement (encephalization quotient or similar metric)
Factor with 2 levels: Reproductive strategy ("Small" (\(< 2\)) and "Large" (\(\geq 2\)) litter sizes)
The dataset name has been kept as brain_litter_mammals_df to avoid confusion
with other datasets in the R ecosystem. This naming convention helps distinguish
this dataset as part of the NeuroDataSets package. The suffix df indicates
that the dataset is a data frame. The original content has not been modified.
