\title{Heart rates of patients on different drug treatments}
\description{
    The \code{HR} data frame has 120 rows and 5 columns of the heart
    rates of patients under one of three possible drug treatments.
}
\format{
    This data frame contains the following columns:
    \describe{
    \item{Patient}{
        an ordered factor indicating the patient.
    }
    \item{Drug}{
        the drug treatment - a factor with levels \code{a},
        \code{b} and \code{p} where \code{p} represents the placebo.
    }
    \item{baseHR}{
        the patient's base heart rate
    }
    \item{HR}{
        the observed heart rate at different times in the experiment
    }
    \item{Time}{
        the time of the observation
    }
    }
}
