It has been hypothesized that there is a link between Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and environmental temperature. Between 8 January 1979 and 31 November 1985 (242 days), that day's average temperature (in degrees Celsius) and the number of SIDS deaths on the FOLLOWING day were recorded. The data set contains these pairs of observations (count followed by temperature). These data courtesy of Dr. Marie Davidian at NC State University.
