Acifluorfen and diquat tested on Lemna minor.
Data from an experiment where the chemicals acifluorfen and diquat tested on Lemna minor. The dataset has 7 mixtures used in 8 dilutions with three replicates and 12 common controls, in total 180 observations.
data(acidiq)
A data frame with 180 observations on the following 3 variables.
dosea numeric vector of dose values
pcta numeric vector denoting the grouping according to the mixtures percentages
rgra numeric vector of response values (relative growth rates)
The dataset is analysed in Soerensen et al (2007). Hewlett's symmetric model seems appropriate for this dataset.
The dataset is kindly provided by Nina Cedergreen, Department of Agricultural Sciences, Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Denmark.
