\title{Elisa assay of \abbr{DNase}}
\description{
  The \code{DNase} data frame has 176 rows and 3 columns of data
  obtained during development of an ELISA assay for the recombinant
  protein \abbr{DNase} in rat serum.
}
\usage{DNase}
\format{
  An object of class
  \code{c("nfnGroupedData", "nfGroupedData", "groupedData", "data.frame")}
  containing the following columns:
  \describe{
    \item{\code{Run}}{
      an ordered factor with levels \code{10} < \dots < \code{3}
      indicating the assay run.
    }
    \item{\code{conc}}{
      a numeric vector giving the known concentration of the
      protein.
    }
    \item{\code{density}}{
      a numeric vector giving the measured optical density
      (dimensionless) in the assay.  Duplicate optical density
      measurements were obtained.
    }
  }
}
\details{
  This dataset was originally part of package \CRANpkg{nlme}, and that has
  methods (including for \code{[}, \code{as.data.frame}, \code{plot} and
  \code{print}) for its grouped-data classes.
