duration of experiments, measured in minutes
speed of impeller, measured in RPM
baffles is a categorical Yes or No variable
yield: is a percentage yield at the end of the
batch.

Class grades
Description:
Data source:

Data shape:

Grades from a Chemical Engineering course at


McMaster University.
The recorded values are the average of subcomponents: e.g the Tutorial variable is the
average of all tutorials, the Final exam
variable is the average of all questions in the
final, written exam.
The Prefix column is the year in which the
student first enrolls at the university and is a
crude approximation of the student's age
(maturity).
This particular course permitted students to
work in groups for assignments, tutorials and
the take-home exam. The groups were selfselected, and varied during the semester.
Of interest is whether the assignments,
tutorials, midterms or take-home exam are a
good predictor of the student's performance
in the final exam. Also, does the Prefix
variable show any promise as a prediction
variable?
