## Hald's Cement Data

### Description

Heat evolved in setting of cement, as a function of its chemical composition.

### Usage

    data(cement)
    data(cement.miss)

### Format

A `data.frame` with 13 observations on the following 5 variables.

x1

  percentage weight in clinkers of 3CaO.Al2O3

x2

  percentage weight in clinkers of 3CaO.SiO2

x3

  percentage weight in clinkers of 4CaO.Al2O3.Fe2O3

x4

  percentage weight in clinkers of 2CaO.SiO2

y

  heat evolved (calories/gram)

### Details

`cement.miss` is taken from an example in Little & Rubin's book on Statistical Analysis with Missing Data (2002), pp.~154, for demonstrating estimation of multivariate means and variances when the missing data pattern is monotone. These are indicated by `NA` in `cement.miss`. See the examples section of `monomvn` for a re-working of the example from the textbook
