Volume distribution data for NIH3T3 cell cultures
Description
Volume distribution data for NIH3T3 cell cultures under standard culture conditions
Usage
data(NIH3T3_volume_data)Format
The data is formated as 4 numeric vectors of length 257 representing
cell volume (\mu m^3) distributions, namely
"NIH3T3\_a",
"NIH3T3\_b",
"NIH3T3\_c", and
"NIH3T3\_d".
The estimated cell cycle time (h) for each volume
distribution dataset is indicated in the numeric objects
"tNIH3T3\_a",
"tNIH3T3\_b",
"tNIH3T3\_c", and
"tNIH3T3\_d".
The object "volumes\_nih3t3" is a numeric vector representing the
volumes (\mu m^3) associated with all of the distributions.
Source
The measurement protocol is described in the paper in the references.
