caliper: Diameters of rods measured by two calipers

In EngrExpt: Data sets from "Introductory Statistics for Engineering Experimentation"

Description

Diameters of 14 metal rods measured once each with each of two calipers.

Format

A data frame with 14 observations on the following 3 variables.

part

indicator of which part is measured - a factor

calipera

measurement with caliper type A

caliperb

measurement with caliper type B

Details

This is an experiment to study the relationship between the measurements taken by the two calipers on various parts. The diameter of each part is not of interest.
