Description: Anscombe's quartet are a set of four two-variable datasets
        that have several common summary statistics but which have very
        different joint distributions.  This becomes apparent when the
        data are plotted, which illustrates the importance of using
        graphical displays in Statistics.  This package enables the
        creation of datasets that have identical marginal sample means
        and sample variances, sample correlation, least squares
        regression coefficients and coefficient of determination.  The
        user supplies an initial dataset, which is shifted, scaled and
        rotated in order to achieve target summary statistics.  The
        general shape of the initial dataset is retained. The target
        statistics can be supplied directly or calculated based on a
        user-supplied dataset.  The 'datasauRus' package
        <https://cran.r-project.org/package=datasauRus> provides
        further examples of datasets that have markedly different
        scatter plots but share many sample summary statistics.
