  % smoothmeth  A collection of the data sets used in the book "Smoothing
  %             Methods in Statistics," by Jeffrey S. Simonoff,
  %             Springer-Verlag, New York, 1996. Submitted by Jeff
  %             Simonoff (jsimonoff@stern.nyu.edu).
  % 
  % 
  % This submission consists of 37 files, plus this README file.
  % Each file represents a data set analyzed in the book.
  % The names of the files correspond to the names given in
  % the book. The data files are written in plain ASCII (character)
  % text. Missing values are represented by "M" in all data files.
  % 
  % Several of the files include an alphabetic (labeling) variable. It is
  % likely that these files would have to be input into a package using fixed,
  % rather than free, format. The relevant files, along with appropriate
  % Fortran format statements, are as follows:
  %
