"Range-of-Fire Estimates from Regression Analysis Applied to the Spreads of Shotgun Pellets Patterns: Results of a Blind Study," Forensic Science International, Vol. 28, pp. 239-250 Description: Results of an experiment relating the square root of the area spread of shotgun pellets to range of fire, for shotgun cartridge types. Residuals show heterogeneity, and can be analyzed by weighted least squares. Variables/Columns Cartridge 8 /* 1=Winchester Western Super X 00, 2=Remington No. 4 */ Range (distance, in feet) 15-16 Square root of spread (inches) 20-24 Standard Deviation of sqrt(spread) for that range/cartridge type 26-32
