Dataset Name:  BoxBOD            (BoxBOD.dat)

File Format:   ASCII
               Starting Values   (lines 41 to 42)
               Certified Values  (lines 41 to 47)
               Data              (lines 61 to 66)

Procedure:     Nonlinear Least Squares Regression

Description:   These data are described in detail in Box, Hunter and
               Hunter (1978).  The response variable is biochemical
               oxygen demand (BOD) in mg/l, and the predictor
               variable is incubation time in days.
