Downloading Data Sets

Below is a list of files containing the data sets in the third edition of the book. All files are in text (ASCII) format, so that they can be read by different software packages and different word processors. The variable names are in the first row and the columns are delimited by tab characters. To download the contents of a file do the following:

While holding down the control key,
click on the file name and choose
Save this link As... .
Right-click on the file name, then choose
Save Target As... (Internet Explorer) or
Save this link As... (Netscape).

The data sets given below are ordered by chapter number and page number within each chapter. The name of each file is Pxxx.txt or Pxxx.zip, where Pxxx is the page number xxx in the book where the data are given and the extension txt or zip indicates that the saved file is a text (ASCII) or zipped (Minitab) file. The columns are delimited by tab characters. Of course, you can change the file name if you wish.

In addition, as suggested by Gerry Recktenwald (Mechanical Engineering Department, Portland State Univeristy), all data sets could be downloaded as a single, compressed archive (zip file): All_Data.zip .
