MVGH {combinIT}

The mean values of growth hormone (MVGH).

Description

This data set are about the mean values of growth hormone for the levels of zinc and thyroid hormone obtained by Freake et al. (2001). This data set has been previously analyzed by Alin and Kurt (2006). There three levels of zinc: Zinc deficient, Pair-fed, and Control. There are also three levels of thyroid hormone: Hypothyroid, Euthyroid, and Hyperthyroid. The test of interaction between the zinc and thyroid hormone is of interest.
