The data includes: # # I, the index; # A1, the operation time, # A2, the temperature of the coolant, # A3, the transformed acid concentration. # B, the percentage of unprocessed ammonia. # # We seek a model of the form: # # B = A1 * X1 + A2 * X2 + A3 * X3. # 5 columns 21 rows Index Operation Time Coolant Temperature Transformed acid concentration Unprocessed percentage 1 80 27 89 42 2 80 27 88 37 3 75 25 90 37 4 62 24 87 28 5 62 22 87 18 6 62 23 87 18 7 62 24 93 19 8 62 24 93 20 9 58 23 87 15 10 58 18 80 14 11 58 18 89 14 12 58 17 88 13 13 58 18 82 11 14 58 19 93 12 15 50 18 89 8 16 50 18 86 7 17 50 19 72 8 18 50 19 79 8 19 50 20 80 9 20 56 20 82 15 21 70 20 91 15
