The dataset has 7 mixtures, 8 dilutions, two replicates and 5 common control controls. Four observations are missing, giving a total of 113 observations.

Usage

data(glymet)

Format

A data frame with 113 observations on the following 3 variables.

dose

a numeric vector of dose values

pct

a numeric vector denoting the grouping according to the mixtures percentages

rgr

a numeric vector of response values (relative growth rates)

Details

The dataset is analysed in Soerensen et al (2007). The concentration addition model can be entertained for this dataset.
