_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     The `Thurber' data frame has 37 rows and 2 columns.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s_:

       y: A numeric vector of electron mobility values.

       x: A numeric vector of logs of electron density val-
          ues.

_F_o_r_m_a_t_:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s_:

     These data are the result of a NIST study involving
     semiconductor electron mobility.  The response variable
     is a measure of electron mobility, and the predictor
     variable is the natural log of the density.

_S_o_u_r_c_e_:

     Thurber, R., NIST (197?).  Semiconductor electron
     mobility modeling.
