	# Example of weights and heart girths of cows.
	# Weight was measured in kg and heart girth in cm on 10 cows (Kaps and Lamberson, 2009).

	Weight=c(641, 620, 633, 651, 640, 666, 650, 688, 680, 670) 
	Heart_girth=c(205, 212, 213, 216, 216, 217, 218, 219, 221, 226)

	r1<-gds(Weight)
	r1

	r2<-gds(Heart_girth)
	r2

	data=data.frame(Weight,Heart_girth)
