_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The data gives the gasoline yield as a percent of crude oil, and
     four independent variables which may influence yield.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The data come as 10 separate samples, and within each sample the
     values for the independent variables are constant.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The data frame contains the following components: 

  Sample: The sample number, from 1 to 10 

     API: The crude oil gravity, in degrees API 

  Vapour: The crude oil vapour pressure 

    ASTM: The crude oil 10% point 

   Endpt: The gasoline end point 

   Yield: Percentage of oil recovered 

_C_A_T_E_G_O_R_Y:

     Analysis of variance, covariance, and multiple regression. Modern
     regression.
