Version 1.1.1

  • Document Perozzo's full provenance chain to the original 1880 printed table [Thx: RJ Andrews]
  • Add Handwashing data: Handwashing.clinics, Handwashing.monthly, and Handwashing.hospital, Semmelweis' (1861) counts of births and maternal deaths from childbed fever at the Vienna maternity clinics, before and after he introduced handwashing in May 1847. Transcribed from the tables in the original 1861 book.
  • Use tinyplot for a couple of examples, to try this out. Possibly extend to other examples
  • tinyplot is now used for the Nightingale line graphs, as well as Handwashing (two clinics) and Mayer.
  • Fix GaltonFamilies examples: car::scatterplot() calls used outdated argument names, so the 68% data ellipses and legend position were ignored.
  • Fix ggplot2 warnings in the Breslau, Minard and PearsonLee examples (linewidth for lines, legend.position.inside, no data$var inside aes()).

  • Add Ebbinghaus data: learning/relearning repetition counts for Ebbinghaus' (1885) forgetting-curve experiment and two replications (Heller, Mack & Seitz 1991; Murre & Dros 2015) [Thx: Jaap Murre]
