ACF1

Aberrant Crypt Foci in Rat Colons

Description

Numbers of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the section 1 of the colons of 22 rats subjected to a single dose of the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM), sacrificed at 3 different times.

Usage

ACF1

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

count: The number of ACF observed in section 1 of each rat colon
endtime: Time of sacrifice, in weeks following injection of AOM

Examples

sapply(split(ACF1$count,ACF1$endtime),var)
plot(count ~ endtime, data=ACF1, pch=16)
pause()
print("Poisson Regression - Example 8.3")
ACF.glm0 <- glm(formula = count ~ endtime, family = poisson, data = ACF1)
summary(ACF.glm0)

# Is there a quadratic effect?
pause()

ACF.glm <- glm(formula = count ~ endtime + I(endtime^2),
  family = poisson, data = ACF1)
summary(ACF.glm)

# But is the data really Poisson?  If not, try quasipoisson:
pause()

ACF.glm <- glm(formula = count ~ endtime + I(endtime^2),
  family = quasipoisson, data = ACF1)
summary(ACF.glm)
