\title{Ergometrics experiment with stool types}
\description{
    The \code{ergoStool} data frame has 36 rows and 3 columns.
}
\format{
    This data frame contains the following columns:
    \describe{
        \item{effort}{
            a numeric vector giving the effort (Borg scale) required to
            arise from a stool.
        }
        \item{Type}{
            a factor with levels
            \code{T1}, 
            \code{T2}, 
            \code{T3}, and 
            \code{T4} giving the stool type.
        }
        \item{Subject}{
            an ordered factor giving a unique identifier for the subject
            in the experiment.
        }
    }
