cloud


The data summarize the results of the first Florida Area Cumulus Experiment, or FACE-1, designed to study the effectiveness of cloud seeding to increase rainfall in a target area (Woodley, Simpson, Biondini, and Berkley, 1977).


datasets

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.
