IGF dataset

Radioimmunoassay of IGF-I Protein

The IGF data frame has 237 rows and 3 columns.

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

• Lot: an ordered factor giving the radioactive tracer lot.
• age: a numeric vector giving the age (in days) of the radioactive tracer.
• conc: a numeric vector giving the estimated concentration of IGF-I protein (ng/ml)

Details

Davidian and Giltinan (1995) describe data obtained during quality control radioimmunoassays for ten different lots of radioactive tracer used to calibrate the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-I) protein concentration measurements.
