claims


  The file  gives the number of policyholders  of an
insurance company who were ``exposed to risk'', and the number 
of car insurance claims made in the third quarter of 1973 by these
policyholders, arranged as a contingency table cross-classified by
three four-level factors:  <code>dist</code>, the district in which the
policyholder lived (1: rural, 2: small towns, 3: large towns, 4: major
cities), <code>car</code>, the engine capacity of the car (1: $<$ 1="" 2="" litre,="" 2:="" --="" 1.5="" litres,="" 3:="" 4:="" $="">$ 2 litres), and <code>age</code>,
the age of the policyholder (1: $<$ 25="" 30="" 25,="" 2:="" --="" 29,="" 3:="" 35,="" 4:="" $="">$
35)
