#' Age of Sea Snails?
#'
#' @description Subset of data from a study on sea snails of the
#' genus Haliotis. The age of a such a snail (in years) is quite 
#' close to the number of rings it has on its shell plus 1.5. The idea
#' is to predict the age of an individual sea snail from other
#' characteristics.  The rest of the data is witheld for evalution
#' purposes.
#' 
#' @details From the ICU website:  "The age of abalone is determined by 
#' cutting the shell through the cone, staining it, and counting the number of 
#' rings through a microscope -- a boring and time-consuming task.  
#' Other measurements, which are easier to obtain, are used to predict the age."
