_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The `Misra1a' data frame has 14 rows and 2 columns.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       y: A numeric vector of volume values. 

       x: A numeric vector of pressure values. 

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     These data are the result of a NIST study regarding dental
     research in monomolecular adsorption.  The response variable is
     volume, and the predictor variable is pressure.
