biomed
I was able to find the old 1982 "biomedical dataset" generated by Larry Cox. It consists of two groups. These give observation number, blood id number,age, date, and four blood measurements. I don't really remember the instructions for analysis, although I seem to recall that the idea was to figure out if some of the blood measurements that were less difficult to obtain were as good at distinguishing carriers from normals as the more difficult measurements. Unfortunately, I don't remeember which measurement is which. There are two files to retreive:
