Details
These data are described in Littell et al. (1996, p. 155) as coming
``from a passive data collection study in the semiconductor industry
where the objective is to estimate the variance components to
determine the assignable causes of the observed variability.'' The
observed response is the thickness of the oxide layer on silicon
wafers, measured at three different sites of each of three wafers
selected from each of eight lots sampled from the population of
lots.
