\title{Salinity Data}
\description{
This is a data set consisting of measurements of water salinity (i.e.,
its salt concentration) and river discharge taken in North Carolina's
Pamlico Sound; This dataset was listed by Ruppert and Carroll
(1980). In Carrol and Ruppert (1985) the physical background of the
data is described. They indicated that observations 5 and 16
correspond to periods of very heavy discharge and showed that the
discrepant observation 5 was masked by observations 3 and 16, i.e.,
only after deletion of these observations it was possible to identify
the influential observation 5.
This data set is a prime example of the masking effect.
