babies: Crying Babies Data

Description

The babies data frame has 36 rows and 4 columns.

Matched pairs of binary observations concerning the crying of babies. The babies were observed on 18 days and on each day one child was lulled. Interest focuses on the treatment effect “lulling”.

Usage

data(babies)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

r1

number of children not crying on one day;

r2

number of children crying on one day;

lull

indicator variable for the treatment;

day

factor variable for the days.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(babies)
coplot(r2/(r1+r2) ~ day | lull, data = babies)
##
babies.glm <- glm(formula = cbind(r1, r2) ~ day + lull - 1, 
                  family = binomial, data = babies)
babies.cond <- cond(object = babies.glm, offset = lullyes)
babies.cond
##
## If one wishes to avoid the generalized linear model fit:
babies.cond <- cond.glm(formula = cbind(r1, r2) ~ day + lull - 1, 
                        family = binomial, data = babies, offset = lullyes)
babies.cond
# }
