smoothmeth A collection of the data sets used in the book "Smoothing
Methods in Statistics," by Jeffrey S. Simonoff,
Springer-Verlag, New York, 1996. Submitted by Jeff
Simonoff ([e-mail]).

This submission consists of 37 files, plus this README file.
Each file represents a data set analyzed in the book.
The names of the files correspond to the names given in
the book. The data files are written in plain ASCII (character)
text. Missing values are represented by "M" in all data files.

Several of the files include an alphabetic (labeling) variable. It is
likely that these files would have to be input into a package using fixed,
rather than free, format. The relevant files, along with appropriate
Fortran format statements, are as follows:

adptvisa.dat: (f10.4,4x,f7.4,3x,a20)

airaccid.dat: (i3,3x,a34)

basesal.dat : (f8.1,4x,a17)

baskball.dat: (f7.4,4x,f6.4,3x,i3,4x,f5.2,3x,i2,3x,a17)

cars93.dat : (f5.1,2x,i2,2x,i2,3x,f3.1,2x,i3,3x,f4.1,2x,i4,2x,a21)

elusage.dat : (i4,3x,f7.3,2x,a7)

hckshoot.dat: (f7.3,4x,i1,4x,a20)

jantemp.dat : (i6,3x,a30)

marathon.dat: (f10.2,4x,a27)

can be found in the "Descriptions of the data sets" section of the book.
