A data frame of 4 data sets, each with 11 observations of the two variables x and y.
x1 to x4 | x-variables of the four data sets. |
y1 to y4 | y-variables of the four data sets. |
In Auer et al. (2023, Chap. 3) these data are used to illustrate the simple regression model and the importance to visually evaluate datasets before a numerical analysis is performed.
