\title{
Acceleration Due to Gravity
}
\description{
The \code{gravity} data frame has 81 rows and 2 columns.
The \code{grav} data set has 26 rows and 2 columns.
Between May 1934 and July 1935, the National Bureau of Standards in
Washington D.C. conducted a series of experiments to estimate the
acceleration due to gravity, \emph{g}, at Washington. Each experiment
produced a number of replicate estimates of \emph{g} using the same
methodology. Although the basic method remained the same for all
experiments, that of the reversible pendulum, there were changes in
configuration.
The \code{gravity} data frame contains the data from all eight
experiments. The \code{grav} data frame contains the data from the
experiments 7 and 8. The data are expressed as deviations from 980.000
in centimetres per second squared.

\usage{
gravity
}
\format{
This data frame contains the following columns:
\describe{
\item{\code{g}}{
The deviation of the estimate from 980.000 centimetres per second squared.
}
\item{\code{series}}{
A factor describing from which experiment the estimate was derived.
