Description:

The dataset was obtained from a toxicity test using earthworms, and it contains the number of earthworms remaining in a container that was contaminated with a toxic substance (not disclosed) at various doses; so the number of earthworms not migrating to the neighbouring uncontaminated container.

Variables:

A data frame with 35 observations on the following 4 variables.

dose

a numeric vector of dose values

number

a numeric vector containing counts of remaining earthworms in the container

total

a numeric vector containing total number of earthworms put in the containers

 

Details

At dose 0 around half of the earthworms is expected be in each of the two containers. Thus it is not appropriate to fit an ordinary logistic regression with log(dose) as explanatory variable to these data as it implies an upper limit of 1 at dose 0 and in fact this model does not utilise the observations at dose 0 (see the example section below).
