Lizards' perching behaviour data set
Real-world data set about the perching behaviour of two species of lizards in the South Bimini island, from Shoener (1968).
data(lizards)
The lizards data set contains the following variables:
Species (the species of the lizard): a two-level factor
with levels Sagrei and Distichus.
Height (perch height): a two-level factor with levels
high (greater than 4.75 feet) and low (lesser or equal to
4.75 feet).
Diameter (perch diameter): a two-level factor with
levels narrow (greater than 4 inches) and wide (lesser or
equal to 4 inches).
