Appendix B: Sashelp Data Sets

The Sashelp.Gas data set contains data from an experiment about gasoline engine exhaust emissions (Brinkman 1981). Nitrogen oxide emissions from a single-cylinder engine are measured for various combinations of fuel, compression ratio, and equivalence ratio. This data set is used to illustrate how to fit models by using nonlinearly transformed data. The following steps display information about the Sashelp.Gas data set and create Figure 54:
