Description

This data file contains body measurements of participants of a course in morphometrics. The data are entirely anonymized and the compliance for publication of the data in the present form was obtained from each person.

The participants were asked to measure themselves twice at intervals of one or two days, which resulted in reading a and reading b. The following measurements were taken (in mm):

arm.l -> arm length
bod.h -> total body height
foo.l -> foot length
hea.c -> head circumference
leg.l -> leg length

The dataset may be considered for demonstration of measurement error.
