In the experiment,
rats were placed in a shuttlebox
(maze)
and were timed in successive attempts.
An unsuccessful attempt was followed by an electric shock
for the duration of the next attempt
if an attempt was longer than 5 seconds.
The data give the average times and the number of
shocks for all attempts.
The data consists of 16 observations on two variables.
Variables:
Shocks
The number of shocks
Time
The average time to complete the maze in seconds/
Data Quality:
There are no missing values.
Source:
Hand et al. dataset 348.
Notes:
A good, simple regression problem. Is there a non-linear trend?
