Effect of Vinylidene Fluoride on Liver Cancer

This dataset, VinylideneLiverCancer_df, is a data frame containing data from an experiment to investigate whether vinylidene fluoride induces liver damage. The dataset records the levels of three serum enzymes (SDH, SGOT, SGPT) under four different dosages of vinylidene fluoride. Increased serum enzyme levels are indicative of liver damage. Real data which are available on page 10 of Silvapulle and Sen (2005) and in a report prepared by Litton Bionetics Inc in 1984. These data were used in an experiment to find out whether vinylidene fluoride gives rise to liver damage.
