Atkinson (1985) uses these data to illustrate the use of diagnostics in multiple regression analysis. Three of the covariates—<code>API</code>, <code>vapor</code>, and <code>ASTM</code>—measure characteristics of the crude oil used to produce the gasoline. The other covariate — <code>endpoint</code>—is a characteristic of the refining process. Daniel and Wood (1980) notice that the covariates characterizing the crude oil occur in only ten distinct groups and conclude that the data represent responses measured on ten different crude oil samples. </p> <h3>Source</h3> <p>Prater, N.
