A dataset containing morphine tolerance measurements from five experimental treatment groups. The data consist of tolerance values recorded for eight experimental units in each group, resulting in a balanced one-way design with 40 observations.

Usage

morphine

Format

A data frame with 40 rows and 2 columns:

tolerance

A numeric variable containing the morphine tolerance measurement.

grp

A factor identifying the experimental treatment group with five levels: "MS", "MM", "SS", "SM", and "McM".

Details

The treatment groups are coded as:

MS

Morphine followed by saline.

MM

Morphine followed by morphine.

SS

Saline followed by saline.

SM

Saline followed by morphine.

McM

Morphine followed by challenge morphine.

The dataset represents a balanced one-way experimental design with five independent groups and eight observations per group. It is suitable for demonstrating one-way ANOVA, nonparametric alternatives, homogeneity of variance tests, post hoc comparisons, and effect size estimation.
