R Dataset / Package datasets / sleep

On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the sleep data set which pertains to Student's Sleep Data. The sleep data set is found in the datasets R package. You can load the sleep data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("sleep"). This will load the data into a variable called sleep. If R says the sleep data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("datasets") 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 sleep R data set. The size of this file is about 264 bytes.

A data frame with 20 observations on 3 variables.

R project statistics dataset table
[, 1]	extra	numeric	increase in hours of sleep

[, 3]	ID	factor	patient ID

Details

The group variable name may be misleading about the data: They represent measurements on 10 persons, not in groups.

Examples

require(stats)
## Student's paired t-test
with(sleep,
 t.test(extra[group == 1],
extra[group == 2], paired = TRUE))## The sleep *prolongations*
sleep1 <- with(sleep, extra[group == 2] - extra[group == 1])
summary(sleep1)
stripchart(sleep1, method = "stack", xlab = "hours",
 main = "Sleep prolongation (n = 10)")
boxplot(sleep1, horizontal = TRUE, add = TRUE,
at = .6, pars = list(boxwex = 0.5, staplewex = 0.25))
