1.4.2.5.1. Background and Data

Generation

This data set was collected by H. S. Lew of NIST in 1969 to measure steel-concrete beam deflections. The response variable is the deflection of a beam from the center point.

The motivation for studying this data set is to show how the underlying assumptions are affected by periodic data.
