Usage
data(melbmaxtemp)
Format
A vector with 3650 observations.
Details
This is a time series data from Melbourne, Australia. It is commonly used to give a difficult quantile regression problem since the data is bimodal. That is, a hot day is likely to be followed by either an equally hot day or one much cooler. However, an independence assumption is typically made.
