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

     day: The day number.  The data includes only data from
          day 307 and early 308.

    time: The time of day formatted as hour-minute.

    temp: The body temperature in degrees Celsius.

   activ: The dichotomized activity indicator. `1' indicates
          that the beaver is outside of the retreat and
          therefore engaged in high-intensity activity.

_S_U_M_M_A_R_Y_:

     The `beaver' data frame has 100 rows and 4 columns.  It
     is a multivariate time series of class `"rts"' and also
     inherits from class `"data.frame"'.

     This data set is part of a long study into body temper-
     ature regulation in beavers.  Four adult female beavers
     were live-trapped and had a temperature-sensitive
     radiotransmitter surgically implanted.  Readings were
     taken every 10 minutes.  The location of the beaver was
     also recorded and her activity level was dichotomized
     by whether she was in the retreat or outside of it
     since high-intensity activities only occur outside of
     the retreat.

     The data in this data frame are those readings for one
     of the beavers on a day in autumn.
