\title{Hip and Knee Angle while Walking}
\docType{data}
\alias{gait}
\description{
  Hip and knee angle (in degrees) through a 20 point movement cycle for 39 boys.
}
\usage{gait}
\format{
  A 3-dimensional array with dimensions \code{c(20, 39, 2)} giving the
  \code{"Hip Angle"} and \code{"Knee Angle"} (in degrees) for 39 repetitions of 
  a 20 point gait cycle (over standardized gait times).
}
\details{
  The named components of \code{\link{dimnames}(gait)} are as follows:
  \describe{
     \item{\code{Time}}{\code{seq(from = 0.025, to = 0.975, by = 0.05)}}
     \item{\code{Subject}}{\code{"boy1"}, \code{"boy2"}, ..., \code{"boy39"}}
     \item{\code{Variable}}{\code{"Hip Angle"} and \code{"Knee Angle"}}
  }

\note{
  This is the version of the data as in the \CRANpkg{fda} package and 
  corresponding textbooks, but with named dimensions.  One record
  appears to be duplicated from the original paper
  \bibcitep{R:Olshen+Biden+Wyatt:1989}, which 
  analyses a sample of 38 boys. The \code{gait} dataset has 39 boys but 
  \code{boy19} and \code{boy26} have identical measurements.
