Data sets used in the regression modelling course
The names given are the names used in any notes that
refer to these data sets. For reading
the data set into R or S-PLUS your should copy
the data set to a floppy disk, giving it a
name such as hillrace.txt, or roller.txt.
To read in the data you can then place the disk
in the relevant drive, which I will assume to
be the A drive, and specify, e. g.:
hillrace<- read.table("a:/hillrace.txt",
header=T)
