\description{
  The logarithm of the ratio of pain scores at baseline and after four weeks
for a control and treatment group.
}
\usage{data("neuropathy")}
\format{
  A data frame with 58 observations on the following 2 variables.
  \describe{
    \item{pain}{pain scores: ln(baseline/final).}
    \item{group}{a factor with levels \code{control} and \code{treat}.} }
}
\details{
  Data from Table 1 of Conover \& Salsburg (1988).
