\description{

\usage{rock}
\format{
    A data frame with 48 rows and 4 numeric columns.

    \tabular{rll}{
    [,1] \tab area  \tab area of pores space, in pixels
    out of 256 by 256 \cr
    [,2] \tab peri  \tab perimeter in pixels \cr
    [,3] \tab shape \tab perimeter/sqrt(area) \cr
    [,4] \tab perm  \tab permeability in milli-Darcies
    }
}
\details{
    Twelve core samples from petroleum reservoirs were sampled by 4
    cross-sections.  Each core sample was measured for permeability, and
    each cross-section has total area of pores, total perimeter of
    pores, and shape.
