BOD {datasets} | R Documentation |
The BOD
data frame has 6 rows and 2 columns giving the
biochemical oxygen demand versus time in an evaluation of water
quality.
BOD
This data frame contains the following columns:
A numeric vector giving the time of the measurement (days).
A numeric vector giving the biochemical oxygen demand (mg/l).
