factorial: Data From a Chemical Experiment

Description

A factorial designed experiment from chemistry. Three experimental variables representing reactor conditions, and the response, conversion (%) from n-Heptane to acetylene.

Usage

data(factorial)

Format

A data frame with 16 observations on the following 4 variables.

temperature

reactor temperature

ratio

ratio of H2 to n-heptane (mole ratio)

contact

Contact time (sec)

conversion

the response, conversion from n-heptane to acetylene

Details

This data is used in an exercise on regression with many explanatory variables, page 413 of second edition. Original authors assume a quadratic functional form.
