Lizard behaviour

In a study of lizard behaviour, characteristics of 409 lizards were recorded, namely species (S), perch diameter (D) and perch height (H). Perch means preferred place to settle down (a branch on a tree). The focus of interest is in how the propensities of the lizards to choose perch height and diameter are related, and whether and how these depend on species. data

Format

A 3--dimensional array with factors diam: "<=4" ">4" height: ">4.75" "<=4.75" species: "anoli" "dist"

Examples

data(lizard)

# Datasets lizardRAW and lizardDF are generated with the following code
#lizardAGG <- as.data.frame(lizard)
#f   <- lizardAGG$Freq
#idx <- unlist(mapply(function(i, n) rep(i, n), 1:8, f))
#set.seed(0805)
#idx <- sample(idx)
#lizardRAW <- as.data.frame(lizardAGG[idx, 1:3])
#rownames(lizardRAW) <- 1:NROW(lizardRAW)
