11Description:   These data are the result of a study involving
12               the analysis of performance degradation data from
13               accelerated tests, published in IEEE Transactions
14               on Reliability.  The response variable is dialectric
15               breakdown strength in kilo-volts, and the predictor
16               variables are time in weeks and temperature in degrees
17               Celcius.
