These data come from experiments done by J. L. Abkowitz and colleagues at the University of Washington, Seattle. \N\NThere are four columns and a total of 140 records. The first column is an id for the cat in the study. The second colum records the\Ntime, in weeks from the start of monitoring, that the measurement from marrow is recorded. The third column gives the percent of domestic-type progenitor cells observed in a sample of cells at that time. The fourth column gives the sample size at that time, i.e. the number of progenitor cells analyzed.\N\NFor background on the data, see: \NAbkowitz et al., 1988, Blood 71:1687--1692 \NAbkowitz et al., 1990, PNAS, 87:9062--9066 \NAbkowitz et al, 1993, Blood, 82:2096--2103 \NGuttorp et al., 1990, IMA J. Math. App. Med. Bio., 7:125--143 \N\NThese particular data are used in an analysis by Newton et al, 1993 ``Stochastic Modeling of Early Hematopoiesis.''
