+Dataset Name:  Misra1a           (Misra1a.dat)

+

+File Format:   ASCII

+               Starting Values   (lines 41 to 42)

+               Certified Values  (lines 41 to 47)

+               Data              (lines 61 to 74)

+

+Procedure:     Nonlinear Least Squares Regression

+

+Description:   These data are the result of a NIST study regarding

+               dental research in monomolecular adsorption.  The

+               response variable is volume, and the predictor

+               variable is pressure.
