Accessing our data base on radon vs lung cancer in U.S. Counties
FTP into
PITT.edu. This is usually done by typing ‘ftp.pitt.edu’
Then log in as ‘anonymous’ and for password give your e-mail
address.
Then type ‘cd ~ftp/users/b/l/blc’ This gives 4 files,. Three of
these are data, 1601 rows (counties) with 76 columns. The meanings of the
columns are in the fourth file. For MINITAB users, short92.mtw or short.mtp
should be the better data files. For others, short.dat would be needed.
