Data from a Simulated Motorcycle Accident

Description:

     The 'motor' data frame has 94 rows and 4 columns.  The rows are
     obtained by removing replicate values of 'time' from the dataset 
     'mcycle'.  Two extra columns are added to allow for strata with a
     different residual variance in each stratum.

Usage:

     motor

Format:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

     'times' The time in milliseconds since impact.

     'accel' The recorded head acceleration (in g).

     'strata' A numeric column indicating to which of the three strata
          (numbered 1, 2 and 3) the observations belong.

     'v' An estimate of the residual variance for the observation.  'v'
          is constant within the strata but a different estimate is
          used for each of the three strata.
