Atmospheric Pressure and Boiling Point in the Alps
Description
James Forbes measured the atmospheric pressure and boiling
point of water at 17 locations in the Alps.
Usage
data(forbes)
Format
A data frame with 17 observations on the following 2 variables.
- bp
Boiling point (Fahrenheit)
- pres
Pressure (inches of mercury)

Examples
data(forbes)
plot(forbes)
fit <- lm(bp~pres,data=forbes)
fit
plot(forbes$pres,resid(fit)) # model OK?
# try refitting with transformation
fit <- lm(log(bp)~log(pres),data=forbes)
