NAME: Body Fat Content TYPE: Sample SIZE: 20 observations, 4 variables DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT: The dataset contains a portion of the data for a study of the relation of the amount of body fat to several possible predictor variables, based on a sample of 20 healthy females 25-35 years old. The amount of body fat for each of the 20 subjects was obtained by a cumbersome and expensive procedure requiring the immersion of the person in water. It would therefore be very helpful if a regression model with some or all of the predictor variables could provide reliable estimates of the amount of body fat since the measurements need for the predictor variables are easy to obtain.
