PupfishMR: Experimental metabolic rate data from pupfish

Description

Simulated metabolic rate data from experimental pupfish

Arguments

Author

Michael Collyer

Details

These data are simulated data meant to mimic a subset of the data from Collyer & Stockwell (2004). Variables include experimental treatment (Control versus artificially infected), mass in grams, standard length in mm, and metabolic rate (oxygen consumption, mg O2 per L per hour). These data do not have a temporal component like the original data, and do not include aberrant or missing observations. These data are suitable data for demonstrating linear regression and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), used in the book, Permutational Biometry (Collyer & Adams, 2025).
