data frame format for the baboon.parms_df for multivariate analysis
Description
A dataset containing summary statistics for low density lipoprotein (LDL) and apolipoprotein B (apo B) levels in 604 baboons measured on two different diets: a basal diet and a high cholesterol, saturated fat diet. The baboons were classified into one of two subspecies and a hybrid of the two subspecies (Papio hamadryas anubis, P.h. cynocephalus, or hybrid). Each animal was measured on each of the two diets.
