pigment dataset

1.1

data

Yellowing of paint for different pigments

Format

A data frame with 9 observations on the following 3 variables.

• batch: a factor with levels A, B and C
• pigment: a factor with levels A, B and C
• deltab: a numeric vector

Details

This experiment was to study the impact of pigments on the quality of a white paint. The measure of interest was delta b (smaller is better). Three batches of paint were use to test each of the three pigments (so there were three measurements for each pigment, one from each batch).
