     This data set illustrates the acute mortality of flour beetles
     (_Tribolium confusum_) following 5 hour exposure to carbon
     disulfide gas.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A data frame with 8 rows and 4 variables.

     '_D_o_s_e' dose of carbon disulfide in mg/L

     '_N_u_m_b_e_r__t_e_s_t_e_d' number of beetles exposed to given dose of carbon
          disulfide 

     '_N_u_m_b_e_r__k_i_l_l_e_d' Number of beetles dead after 5 hour exposure to
          given dose of carbon disulfide

     '_M_o_r_t_a_l_i_t_y__r_a_t_e' proportion of total beetles found dead after 5
          hour exposure

     Burnham and Anderson (2002, p. 195) use this data set originally
     from Young and Young (1998) to show model selection for binomial
     models with different link functions (logit, probit, cloglog).
