_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Five sets of levels of luteinizing hormone for each of 48 time
     periods,  taken from Diggle (1990). These are hormone levels
     measured on a healty woman in 10 minute intervals over a period of
     8 hours. The luteinizing hormone is one of the hormones that
     orchestrate the menstrual cycle and hence it is important to
     understand its daily variation.  

     This is a time series. The book gives only one time series, which 
     correspond to 'V4'. I don't know what are the other four series, 
     the book does'nt mention them. They could be block bootstrap 
     replicates?
