    Motor Trend Car Road Tests

    Description

    The data was extracted from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine, and comprises fuel consumption and 10
    aspects of automobile design and performance for 32 automobiles (1973–74 models).

    Usage

    mtcars

    Format

    A data frame with 32 observations on 11 (numeric) variables.

    [, 1] mpg Miles/(US) gallon


    [, 2] cyl Number of cylinders
    [, 3] disp Displacement (cu.in.)
    [, 4] hp Gross horsepower
    [, 5] drat Rear axle ratio
    [, 6] wt Weight (1000 lbs)
    [, 7] qsec 1/4 mile time
    [, 8] vs Engine (0 = V-shaped, 1 = straight)
    [, 9] am Transmission (0 = automatic, 1 = manual)
    [,10] gear Number of forward gears
    [,11] carb Number of carburetors

    Note

    Henderson and Velleman (1981) comment in a footnote to Table 1: ‘Hocking [original transcriber]'s
    noncrucial coding of the Mazda's rotary engine as a straight six-cylinder engine and the Porsche's flat engine
    as a V engine, as well as the inclusion of the diesel Mercedes 240D, have been retained to enable direct
    comparisons to be made with previous analyses.’

    Examples

    require(graphics)
    pairs(mtcars, main = "mtcars data", gap = 1/4)
    coplot(mpg ~ disp | as.factor(cyl), data = mtcars,
    panel = panel.smooth, rows = 1)
    ## possibly more meaningful, e.g., for summary() or bivariate plots:
    mtcars2 <- within(mtcars, {
    vs <- factor(vs, labels = c("V", "S"))
    am <- factor(am, labels = c("automatic", "manual"))
    cyl <- ordered(cyl)
    gear <- ordered(gear)
    carb <- ordered(carb)
    })
    summary(mtcars2)
