\title{data from Example 10.10}
\description{
  The \code{xmp10.10} data frame has 18 rows and 2 columns.
}
\format{
    This data frame contains the following columns:
    \describe{
    \item{travel}{
      a numeric vector giving the travel time for ultrasonic
      head-waves in the rail (nanoseconds).  The value given is the
      original travel time minus 36,100 nanoseconds.
    }
    \item{Rail}{
        an ordered factor identifying the rail on which the
        measurement was made.
    }
    }
}
\details{
  Data from a study of travel time for a certain type of wave that
  results from longitudinal stress of rails used for railroad track.
