\title{Pharmacokinetics of Indomethacin}
\description{
  The \code{Indometh} data frame has 66 rows and 3 columns of data on
  the pharmacokinetics of indometacin (or, older spelling,
  \sQuote{indomethacin}).
}
\usage{Indometh}
\format{
  An object of class
  \code{c("nfnGroupedData", "nfGroupedData", "groupedData", "data.frame")}
  containing the following columns:
 \describe{
    \item{Subject}{
      an ordered factor with containing the subject codes.  The
      ordering is according to increasing maximum response.
    }
    \item{time}{
      a numeric vector of times at which blood samples were drawn (hr).
    }
    \item{conc}{
      a numeric vector of plasma concentrations of indometacin (mcg/ml).
    }
  }
}
\details{
  Each of the six subjects were given an intravenous injection of
  indometacin.

  This dataset was originally part of package \code{nlme}, and that has
  methods (including for \code{[}, \code{as.data.frame}, \code{plot} and
  \code{print}) for its grouped-data classes.
