Enzyme {MethComp}

Enzyme activity data

Description

Three measurement of enzyme activity on 24 patients. The measurements is of the enzymes sucrase and alkaline phosphatase. The interest is to compare the 'homogenate' and 'pellet' methods.

Format

A data frame with 72 observations on the following 3 variables.

meth

a factor with levels SucHom SucPel Alkphos, representing three different measurements, i.e. homogenate and pellet values of sucrase, as well as homogenate values of alkaline.

item

a numeric vector, the person ID for the 24 patients

y

a numeric vector, the measurements on the enzyme activity.
