R Dataset / Package DAAG / tinting
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the tinting data set which pertains to Car Window Tinting Experiment Data. The tinting data set is found in the DAAG R package. You can load the tinting data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("tinting"). This will load the data into a variable called tinting. If R says the tinting data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("DAAG") 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 tinting R data set. The size of this file is about 9,010 bytes.
Car Window Tinting Experiment Data
Description
These data are from an experiment that aimed to model the effects of the tinting of car windows on visual performance. The authors were mainly interested in effects on side window vision, and hence in visual recognition tasks that would be performed when looking through side windows.
Usage
tinting
Format
This data frame contains the following columns:
- case
-
observation number
- id
-
subject identifier code (1-26)
- age
-
age (in years)
- sex
-
a factor with levels
f
female,m
male - tint
-
an ordered factor with levels representing degree of tinting:
no
<lo
<hi
- target
-
a factor with levels
locon
: low contrast,hicon
: high contrast - it
-
the inspection time, the time required to perform a simple discrimination task (in milliseconds)
- csoa
-
critical stimulus onset asynchrony, the time to recognize an alphanumeric target (in milliseconds)
- agegp
-
a factor with levels
younger
, 21-27,older
, 70-78
Details
Visual light transmittance (VLT) levels were 100% (tint=none), 81.3% (tint=lo), and 35.1% (tint=hi). Based on these and other data, Burns et al. argue that road safety may be compromised if the front side windows of cars are tinted to 35
