ex1221: Predicting Desert Wildflower Blooms

Description

These data are monthly rainfalls from September to March and the subjectively rated quality of the following spring wildflower display for each of a number of years at each of four desert locations in the southwestern United States (Upland Sonoran Desert near Tucson, the lower Colorado River Valley section of the Sonoran Desert, the Baja California region of the Sonoran Desert, and the Mojave Desert). The quality of the display was judged subjectively with ordered rating categories of poor, fair, good, great, and spectacular. The variable Score is numerical variable corresponding to these ordered categories. A goal is to find an equation for predicting quality of wildflower blooms from the rainfall variables.
