Darwin (1876) studied the growth of pairs of zea may (aka corn) seedlings, one produced by cross-fertilization and the other produced by self-fertilization, but otherwise grown under identical conditions. His goal was to demonstrate the greater vigour of the cross-fertilized plants. The data recorded are the final height (inches, to the nearest 1/8th) of the plants in each pair.

## Dataset4: Effect of Autism drug `data4.csv`

A new chemotherapy treatment is proposed for patients with breast cancer. Investigators are concerned with patient's ability to tolerate the treatment and assess their quality of life both before and after receiving the new chemotherapy treatment. Quality of life (QOL) is measured on an ordinal scale and for analysis purposes, numbers are assigned to each response category as follows: 1=Poor, 2= Fair, 3=Good, 4= Very Good, 5 = Excellent.

Consider a clinical investigation to assess the effectiveness of a new drug designed to reduce repetitive behaviors in children affected with autism. If the drug is effective, children will exhibit fewer repetitive behaviors on treatment as compared to when they are untreated. A total of 8 children with autism enroll in the study. Each child is observed by the study psychologist for a period of 3 hours both before treatment and then again after taking the new drug for 1 week. The time that each child is engaged in repetitive behavior during each 3 hour observation period is measured. Repetitive behavior is scored on a scale of 0 to 100 and scores represent the percent of the observation time in which the child is engaged in repetitive behavior. For example, a score of 0 indicates that during the entire observation period the child did not engage in repetitive behavior while a score of 100 indicates that the child was constantly engaged in repetitive behavior.
