Skull_geometry#

Measurements of circumference of skulls of children at various ages.

From the authors: “Head injury is the leading cause of fatality and long-term disability for children. Pediatric heads change rapidly in both size and shape during growth, especially for children under 3 years old.”

Initialization#

library(fosdata)
data <- fosdata::skull_geometry

Accessing fields#

data <- fosdata::skull_geometry
circumference_cm <- data$circumference_cm # Just a random field in the dataset

Interactive R Sample#

You can use the R editor below to interactively explore the dataset and generate plots. This contains a fully self-contained R environment with fosdata, ggplot2, and dplyr loaded.

LLM instructions#

If using an LLM, you can copy-paste the following instructions to accompany your prompt to inform the model of the fields and their types in the dataset.
