cement {monomvn}

Hald's Cement Data

Description

Heat evolved in setting of cement, as a function of its chemical composition.

Usage

data(cement)
data(cement.miss)

Format

A data.frame with 13 observations on the following 5 variables.

x1

percentage weight in clinkers of 3CaO.Al2O3

x2

percentage weight in clinkers of 3CaO.SiO2

x3

percentage weight in clinkers of 4CaO.Al2O3.Fe2O3

x4

percentage weight in clinkers of 2CaO.SiO2

y

heat evolved (calories/gram)

Details

cement.miss is taken from an example in Little & Rubin's book on Statistical Analysis with Missing Data (2002), pp.~154, for demonstrating estimation of multivariate means and variances when the missing data pattern is monotone. These are indicated by NA in cement.miss. See the examples section of monomvn for a re-working of the example from the textbook
