#' @usage Norberg
#' @format A data frame with 72 observations on the following 3 variables.

#'     \item{\code{OccGroup}}{Occupational Group}
#'     \item{\code{Exposure}}{Exposures}
#'     \item{\code{Deaths}}{Observed Deaths}

#' @details 
#' The data arise from 1125 original groups insured during all or part of
#' the period 1982-85 by a major Nowegian insurance company.  Exposures
#' can be normalized by a factor of 344 as in Hastrup (2000) and then can be
#' interpreted as the apriori expected number of claims (deaths) for each group.
#' The original 1125 groups were aggregated into 72 as in Norberg (1989).
