A water supply company wants to control the performance of the water counters installed throughout a city. For this purpose, 60 rational samples have been taken, each one composed by 3 measurements, from the same age (10 years) and caliber water counters corresponding to two different brands, and during a period of 5 years. This dataset is based on a study case of A Coruña’s water supply company, Empresa Municipal de Aguas de La Coruña (Emalcsa).

Format

A data frame with 180 observations on the following 3 variables:

error

The measurement error of the counters (Error: (Real Volume - Measured Volume)/Real Volume)

sample

Sample ID

brand

Brands of providers of counters
