Data are generated that follow relationships taken from the
biological literature. "A useful tool for easily generating data to use in data analysis exercises for undergraduate students" (Choice,). This is a good choice if you want to try similations in a variety of sub-disciplines within biology. The 25 different systems that can be simulated are listed below.
1. Proportion infected with AIDS
2. Cancer survival rates for Norwegian males
3. Relative growth rates of root tissue
4. Age, sex, & red deer reproduction
5. Enzyme activity & amount of starch substrate
6. Ejected volume & blood pressure in the frog heart
7. Toxicity of cocaine to white mice
8. Ambient and organism body temperature: 6 animal species
9. Oxygen consumption in climbers at different altitudes
10. Osmoregulation: clam, crab, shrimp
11. Pigmy mouse 24-hr body temperature at 20 C
12. Temperature and desiccation in the cockroach
13. Rainfall and primary production in a desert region
