The Adler data frame has 108 rows and 3 columns.
The “experimenters” were the actual subjects of the study. They collected ratings of the apparent success of people in pictures who were pre-selected for their average appearance of success. The experimenters were told prior to collecting data that particular subjects were either high or low in their tendency to rate appearance of success, and were instructed to get good data, scientific data, or were given no such instruction. Each experimenter collected ratings from 18 randomly assigned subjects. This version of the Adler data is taken from Erickson and Nosanchuk (1977). The data described in the original source, Adler (1973), have a more complex structure.

The data comes from a unpublished master's paper by Carl Hoffstedt. They relate the automobile accident rate,
in accidents per million vehicle miles to several potential terms. The data include 39 sections of large
highways in the state of Minnesota in 1973. The goal of this analysis was to understand the impact
of design variables, Acpts, Slim, Sig, and Shld that are under the control of
the highway department, on accidents.

The data consist of headache logs kept by 133 patients in a treatment program in which bio-feedback was used to attempt to reduce migraine frequency and severity. Patients entered the program at different times over a period of about 3 years. Patients were encouraged to begin their logs four weeks before the onset of treatment and to continue for one month afterwards, but only 55 patients have data preceding the onset of treatment.

Important characteristics of a clinical chemistry assay are its limit of blank (LoB), and its limit of detection (LoD). The LoB, conceptually the highest reading likely to be obtained from a zero-concentration sample, is defined operationally by the upper 95% point of readings obtained from samples that do not contain the analyte. The LoD, conceptually the lowest level of analyte that can be reliably determined not to be blank, is defined operationally as true value at which there is a 95% chance of the reading being above the LoB.
These data are from a portion of a LoB/D study of an assay for a drug used to treat certain cancers. Twelve pools were used, four of them blanks of different types, and eight with successively increasing drug levels. The 8 columns of the data set refer to measurements made using different instruments I and reagent lots L.

These contrived repeated-measures data are taken from O'Brien and Kaiser (1985). The data are from an imaginary study in which 16 female and male subjects, who are divided into three treatments, are measured at a pretest, postest, and a follow-up session; during each session, they are measured at five occasions at intervals of one hour. The design, therefore, has two between-subject and two within-subject factors.

by using either Group or Gp as the factor, or a two-way randomized block

Data on whether or not households in Bangladesh changed the wells that they were using.
WellsWells
A data frame with 3020 observations on the following 5 variables.
switchwhether or not the household switched to
another well from an unsafe well: no or yes.
arsenicthe level of arsenic contamination in the household's original well, in hundreds of micrograms per liter; all are above 0.5, which was the level identified as “safe”.
distancein meters to the closest known safe well.
educationin years of the head of the household.
associationwhether or not any members of the household
participated in any community organizations: no or yes.
The data are for an area of Arahazar upazila, Bangladesh. The researchers labelled each well with its level of arsenic and an indication of whether the well was “safe” or “unsafe.” Those using unsafe wells were encouraged to switch. After several years, it was determined whether each household using an unsafe well had changed its well. These data are used by Gelman and Hill (2007) for a logistic-regression example.

The Wong data frame has 331 row and 7 columns. The observations are longitudinal
data on recovery of IQ after comas of varying duration for 200 subjects.

This data frame contains the following columns:

durationduration of the coma in days.
sexa factor with levels Female and Male.
agein years at the time of injury.

viqverbal IQ.
The data are from Wong, Monette, and Weiner (2001) and are for 200 patients who sustained traumatic brain injuries resulting in comas of varying duration. After awakening from their comas, patients were periodically administered a standard IQ test, but the average number of measurements per patient is small (331/200 = 1.7).
