Details

The hormone data. Amount in milligrams of anti-inflammatory hormone remaining in 27 devices, after a certain number of hours (hrs) of wear. The devices were sampled from 3 different manufacturing lots, called A, B and C. Lot C looks like it had greater amounts of remaining hormone, but it also was worn the least number of hours. The book uses this as an example for regression analysis.

Examples

if(interactive())par(ask=TRUE)
