NAME: fishcatch
TYPE: Sample
SIZE: 159 observations, 8 variables
DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT:
159 fishes of 7 species are caught and measured. Altogether there are
8 variables. All the fishes are caught from the same lake
(Laengelmavesi) near Tampere in Finland.

VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS:
1 Obs Observation number ranges from 1 to 159
2 Species (Numeric)
Code Finnish Swedish English Latin
1 Lahna Braxen Bream Abramis brama
2 Siika Iiden Whitewish Leusiscus idus
3 Saerki Moerten Roach Leuciscus rutilus
4 Parkki Bjoerknan ? Abramis bjrkna
5 Norssi Norssen Smelt Osmerus eperlanus
6 Hauki Jaedda Pike Esox lucius
7 Ahven Abborre Perch Perca fluviatilis
3 Weight Weight of the fish (in grams)
4 Length1 Length from the nose to the beginning of the tail (in cm)
5 Length2 Length from the nose to the notch of the tail (in cm)
6 Length3 Length from the nose to the end of the tail (in cm)
7 Height% Maximal height as % of Length3
8 Width% Maximal width as % of Length3

Values are aligned and delimited by blanks.
Missing values are denoted with NA.
There is one data line for each case.
SPECIAL NOTES:
I have usually calculated
Height = Height%*Length3/100
Widht = Widht%*Length3/100
PEDAGOGICAL NOTES:
I have mainly used only Species=7 (Perch) and here is some of the
models and test, we have used
Weight=a+b*(Length3*Height*Width)+epsilon
Ho: a=0;
Heteroscedastic case. Question: What is proper weighting,
if you use Length3 as a weighting variable.
Log(Weight)=a+b1*Length3+epsilon
Weight^(1/3)=a+b1*Length3+epsilon
(Given by Box-Cox-transformation)
Ho: a=0;
Log(Weight)=a+b1*Length3+b2*Height+b3*Width+epsilon
Ho: b1+b2+b3=3;
i.e. dimension of the fish = 3
Weight^(1/3)=a+b1*Length3+b2*Height+b3*Width+epsilon
(Given by Box-Cox-transformation)
Ho: a=0;
Weight=a*Length3^b1*Height^b2*Width^b3+epsilon
Nonlinear, heteroscedastic case.
What is proper weighting?

an outlier? It had in its stomach 6 roach.
