Description

This data set gives the resistance in ohms of 500 nominally one-half-ohm resistors, presented in Hahn and Shapiro (1967). Summary data giving the frequency of observations in 28 intervals.

Usage

Format

The resistors data frame has 28 rows and 2 columns.

[, 1] midpoints midpoints of intervals (ohm)
[, 2] counts number of observations in interval

### Construct data from frequency summary, taking all observations
### at midpoints of intervals
resistances <- rep(midpoints,counts)

## Fit the hyperbolic distribution

## Actually fit.hyperb can deal with frequency data
hyperbFit(midpoints, freq = counts)
