Scurvy Dataset Codebook

Source: This data set is from a study published in 1757, A Treatise on the Scurvy, by James Lind.

The dataset is derived directly from pages 149-153 of this tome, which includes the description of a small, randomized, comparator-controlled 6 day clinical trial of 6 scurvy remedies in 12 seamen with scurvy. The particpant_id variable, and the Likert scales for each outcome measured in this reconstructed dataset, are a bit fanciful (as Likert was not even born in 1757), but match Lindโ€™s descriptions. You can read the original study in a scanned volume on Google Books here.
