R Dataset / Package COUNT / nuts
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the nuts data set which pertains to nuts. The nuts data set is found in the COUNT R package. You can load the nuts data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("nuts"). This will load the data into a variable called nuts. If R says the nuts data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("COUNT") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the nuts R data set. The size of this file is about 5,713 bytes.
nuts
Description
Squirrel data set (nuts) from Zuur, Hilbe, and Ieno (2013). As originally reported by Flaherty et al (2012), researchers recorded information about squirrel behavior and forest attributes across various plots in Scotland's Abernathy Forest. The study focused on the following variables. response cones number of cones stripped by red squirrels per plot predictor sntrees standardized number of trees per plot sheight standardized mean tree height per plot scover standardized percentage of canopy cover per plot The stripped cone count was only taken when the mean diameter of trees was under 0.6m (dbh).
Usage
data(nuts)
Format
A data frame with 52 observations on the following 8 variables.
cones
-
number cones stripped by squirrels
ntrees
-
number of trees per plot
dbh
-
number DBH per plot
height
-
mean tree height per plot
cover
-
canopy closure (as a percentage)
sntrees
-
standardized number of trees per plot
sheight
-
standardized mean tree height per plot
scover
-
standardized canopy closure (as a percentage)
Details
nuts is saved as a data frame. Count models use ntrees as response variable. Counts start at 3

Examples
data(nuts) nut <- subset(nuts, dbh < 0.6) # sntrees <- scale(nuts$ntrees) # sheigtht <- scale(nuts$height) # scover <- scale(nuts$cover) summary(PO <- glm(cones ~ sntrees + sheight + scover, family=quasipoisson, data=nut))
