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.

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?
