Yield of dyestuff by batch
The Dyestuff data frame provides the yield of
dyestuff (Naphthalene Black 12B) from 5 different
preparations from each of 6 different batchs of an
intermediate product (H-acid). The Dyestuff2 data
were generated data in the same structure but with a
large residual variance relative to the batch variance.
Data frames, each with 30 observations on the following 2 variables.
Batcha factor indicating the batch of the intermediate product from which the preparation was created.
Yieldthe yield of dyestuff from the preparation (grams of standard color).
The Dyestuff data are described in Davies and
Goldsmith (1972) as coming from “an investigation
to find out how much the variation from batch to batch in
the quality of an intermediate product (H-acid)
contributes to the variation in the yield of the dyestuff
(Naphthalene Black 12B) made from it. In the experiment
six samples of the intermediate, representing different
batches of works manufacture, were obtained, and five
preparations of the dyestuff were made in the laboratory
from each sample. The equivalent yield of each
preparation as grams of standard colour was determined by
dye-trial.”
The Dyestuff2 data are described in Box and Tiao
(1973) as illustrating “ the case where
between-batches mean square is less than the
within-batches mean square. These data had to be
constructed for although examples of this sort
undoubtably occur in practice, they seem to be rarely
published.”
