Offers a comprehensive collection of penguin-related datasets suitable for descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and experimental design. Derived from open ecological and biological sources such as Palmer Station studies, the package integrates datasets covering adult morphology, clutch size, blood isotope composition, and heart rate. It is designed for researchers, students, and educators to explore statistical methods including ANOVA, regression, multivariate analysis, and design of experiments in an accessible and reproducible context.
The PenguinR package provides a comprehensive and well-structured collection of datasets centered on penguin biology and ecology, designed to support learning, teaching, and research in statistical analysis and experimental design.
You can install the PenguinR package from CRAN with the following R function:
install.packages("PenguinR")
After installation, load the package and start exploring and using its functions and datasets.
library(PenguinR)
Each dataset in PenguinR is labeled with a suffix to indicate its structure and type:
_df: A standard data frame.Below are selected example datasets included in the PenguinR package:
penguins_df: Size Measurements for Adult Foraging Penguins near Palmer Station, Antarctica.
penguins_raw_df: Penguin Size, Clutch, and Blood Isotope Data for Foraging Adults near Palmer Station, Antarctica.
peng_df: Size Measurements for Penguins near Palmer Station, Antarctica.
pinguinos_df: Penguin Heart Rate.
