forbes


The data consists of 17 pairs of numbers corresponding
to observed boiling point and corrected barometric pressure, at locations in
the Alps.

This package is a companion to the textbook S. Weisberg (2005),
"Applied Linear Regression," 3rd edition, Wiley. It includes all the
data sets discussed in the book (except one), and a few functions that
are tailored to the methods discussed in the book.  As of version 2.0.0,
this package depends on the car package. Many functions formerly
in alr3 have been renamed and now reside in car.
Data files have beeen lightly modified to make some data columns row labels.
