The Cow Temperature Data

Description

The data set is adapted from Velleman and Hoaglin (1984). The body temperature of a cow is measured at 6:30am on 75 consecutive days. We use this data set with the intent of explaining the concept of "data smooting". The data appears on page 165 where we have 30 days body temperature.
