Solar panel example from BHH2, Chapter 5, page 230

Description

The data are from a solar panel simulation case study.

The original source that Box, Hunter and Hunter used is http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0038092X67900515

A theoretical model for a commercial system was made. A 2^4 factorial design was used (center point is not included in this dataset).

The factors are dimensionless groups (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity) related to ⁠A⁠: total daily insolation, ⁠B⁠: the tank capacity, ⁠C⁠: the water flow through the absorber, ⁠D⁠: solar intermittency coming in.

The responses variables are ⁠y1⁠: collection efficiency, and ⁠y2⁠: the energy delivery efficiency.

The coded values for ⁠A⁠, ⁠B⁠, ⁠C⁠, and ⁠D⁠ are given, with -1 representing the low value and +1 the high value.

Usage

data(solar)

Format

A data.frame containing 16 observations of 6 variables (A, B, C, D, with y1 and y2 as responses.)
