golfR Documentation

Full factorial experiments to maximize a golfer's driving distance.

Description

A full factorial experiment with four factors run by a golf enthusiast. The objective of the experiments was for the golfer to maximize her driving distance at a specific tee off location on her local golf course. The golfer considered the following factors:

  • ⁠T⁠ = Tee height (cm)

  • ⁠H⁠ = Holes the golf ball had been played for prior to the experimental tee shot

  • ⁠C⁠ = Club type

  • ⁠D⁠ = Time of day (on the 24 hour clock)

The data are in standard order, however the actual experiments were run in random order.

Coded values for ⁠A⁠, ⁠B⁠, ⁠C⁠, and ⁠D⁠ should be used in the linear regression model analysis, with ⁠-1⁠ representing the low value and ⁠+1⁠ the high value.

Usage

data(golf)

Format

A data.frame containing 16 observations of 4 variables (A, B, C, D, with y as a response variable.)
