flowers {asuR} | R Documentation |
A data set with the dry mass of all flowers and the dry mass of the total plant from 20 species growing at high and 20 species growing at low altitude.
data(flowers)
A data frame with 40 observations on the following 3 variables.
alt
a factor with levels high
low
flower
a numeric vector; dry mass of flowers in mg
total
a numeric vector; dry mass of total plant in mg
The data sets shows a random subsample of the original data set.

data(flowers) ## a model with two intercepts and two slopes # m1 <-lm(log(flower) ~ alt/log(total) -1, data=flowers) # ## a model with two intercepts and one slope # altdiff <- rbind("high-low"=c(1,-1)) # m2 <- lm(log(flower) ~ alt + log(total), data=flowers, # contrasts=list(alt=mycontr(contr=altdiff))) # ## are separate slopes needed? # anova(m1, m2) # conclusion: # ## no difference in slopes but difference in intercept ## for interpretation also test whether the slope is one!
