Description:

The dataset contains measurements of mean arterial pressure (mmHG) and heart rate (b/min) for a baroreflex curve.

Variables:

A data frame with 18 observations on the following 3 variables.

pressure

a numeric vector containing measurements of arterial pressure.

rate

a numeric vector containing measurements of heart rate.

Details

The dataset is an example of an asymmetric dose-response curve, that is not easily handled using the log-logistic or Weibull models (LL.4, LL.5, W1.4 and W2.4), whereas the baro5 model provides a nice fit.
