  <Description>
    These data and model are described in Daniel and Wood (1980), and originally published in E.S.Keeping,  "Introduction to Statistical Inference," Van Nostrand Company, Princeton, NJ, 1962, p. 354.  The response variable is energy radieted from a carbon filament lamp per cm**2 per second, and the predictor variable is the absolute temperature of the filament in 1000 degrees Kelvin.

  <Description>
    The data are monthly averaged atmospheric pressure  differences between Easter Island and Darwin,  Australia.  This difference drives the trade winds in  the southern hemisphere.  Fourier analysis of the data reveals 3 significant cycles.  The annual cycle is the strongest, but cycles with periods of approximately 44 and 26 months are also present.  These cycles correspond to the El Nino and the Southern Oscillation. Arguments to the SIN and COS functions are in radians.

  <Description>
    The data are monthly averaged atmospheric pressure  differences between Easter Island and Darwin,  Australia.  This difference drives the trade winds in  the southern hemisphere.  Fourier analysis of the data reveals 3 significant cycles.  The annual cycle is the strongest, but cycles with periods of approximately 44 and 26 months are also present.  These cycles correspond to the El Nino and the Southern Oscillation. Arguments to the SIN and COS functions are in radians.

    These data are taken from an example discussed in Lanczos (1956).  The data were generated to 5-digits of accuracy using f(x) = 0.0951*exp(-x) + 0.8607*exp(-3*x)  + 1.5576*exp(-5*x).
