Chwirut1: Ultrasonic calibration study 1

Description

The Chwirut1 data frame has 214 rows and 2 columns giving

Arguments

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

y: A numeric vector of ultrasonic response values
x: A numeric vector or metal distance values

Source

Chwirut, D., NIST (197?). Ultrasonic Reference Block Study.

Details

These data are the result of a NIST study involving ultrasonic calibration. The response variable is ultrasonic response, and the predictor variable is metal distance.

Examples

Run this code
