Hartigan (1975) Oxidation-Fermentation Patterns

Description

The table contains the oxidation-fermentation patterns for a sample of species of Candida in terms of acid production. This is Table 15.1 in Chapter 15 Hartigan (2975) on page 279.

Usage

data(candida.oxidation.fermentation)

Format

A data frame with 8 observations on the following 13 variables.

name

a character vector for the species name

glucose

a factor for glucose with levels +

maltose

a factor for maltose with levels - +

sucrose

a factor for sucrose with levels - +

lactose

a factor for lactose with levels - +

galactose

a factor for galactose with levels - +

melibiose

a factor for melibiose with levels - +

cellobiose

a factor for cellobiose with levels - +

inositol

a factor for inositol with levels -

xylose

a factor for xylose with levels - +

raffinose

a factor for raffinose with levels - +

trehalose

a factor for trehalose with levels - +

dulcitol

a factor for dulcitol with levels - +

Details

A '+' level means oxidative production of acid where as a '-' level means no acide production. Hartigan suggests using direct joining on this data set.
