heights


Karl Pearson organized the collection
of data on over 1100 families in England in the period 1893 to 1898. This
particular data set gives the heights in inches of mothers and their
daughters, with up to two daughters per mother.  All daughters are at least
age 18, and all mothers are younger than 65.  Data were given in the source
as a frequency table to the nearest inch.
Rounding error has been added to remove discreteness from graph.


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.
