Capacitance of different shaped capacitors. SUMMARY: The capac data set has 15 rows and 5 columns. Each data point is the capacitance of a capacitor built with one of 5 shapes and 3 different sizes (area). Other covariates variables are perimeter length and number of discontinuities. DATA DESCRIPTION: This data set contains the following columns: capac: No weighting of airplane nose. shape: Either cir (circle), poly (polygon), star, tri (triangle), or squ (square). perim: perimeter area: 9, 16, or 25 square inches discont: discontinuities, measures the unevenness of the perimeter.
