Dataset Name:  Thurber           (Thurber.dat)

File Format:   ASCII
               Starting Values   (lines 41 to 47)
               Certified Values  (lines 41 to 52)
               Data              (lines 61 to 97)

Procedure:     Nonlinear Least Squares Regression

Description:   These data are the result of a NIST study involving
               semiconductor electron mobility.  The response 
               variable is a measure of electron mobility, and the 
               predictor variable is the natural log of the density.
