Estimation of Gasoline Yields from Crude Oil
Operational data of the proportion of crude oil converted to gasoline after distillation and fractionation.
data("GasolineYield")A data frame containing 32 observations on 6 variables.
proportion of crude oil converted to gasoline after distillation and fractionation.
crude oil gravity (degrees API).
vapor pressure of crude oil (lbf/in2).
temperature (degrees F) at which 10 percent of crude oil has vaporized.
temperature (degrees F) at which all gasoline has vaporized.
factor indicating unique batch of conditions gravity,
pressure, and temp10.
This dataset was collected by Prater (1956), its dependent variable is the proportion of crude oil after distillation and fractionation. This dataset was analyzed by Atkinson (1985), who used the linear regression model and noted that there is “indication that the error distribution is not quite symmetrical, giving rise to some unduly large and small residuals” (p. 60).
The dataset contains 32 observations on the response and on the independent
variables. It has been noted (Daniel and Wood, 1971, Chapter 8) that there are only
ten sets of values of the first three explanatory variables which correspond to
ten different crudes and were subjected to experimentally controlled distillation
conditions. These conditions are captured in variable batch and
the data were ordered according to the ascending order of temp10.
