Description

Small datasets for use in loo examples and vignettes. The Kline and milk datasets are also included in the rethinking package (McElreath, 2016a), but we include them here as rethinking is not on CRAN.

Details

Currently the data sets included are:

• Kline: Small dataset from Kline and Boyd (2010) on tool complexity and demography in Oceanic islands societies. This data is discussed in detail in McElreath (2016a,2016b). (Link to variable descriptions)

• milk: Small dataset from Hinde and Milligan (2011) on primate milk composition.This data is discussed in detail in McElreath (2016a,2016b). (Link to variable descriptions)
