Description of the data used in this study. Variables to identify the experimental units and repetitions are distinguished from the response variable, and variables used to predict the success rate in RFID reading. The measurement levels and accompanying class definitions or units of the variable are given between brackets

NameDescription
Variables to identify experimental units and repetitions
baridentifier for each book (categorical; unique 10-digit integer)
runidentifier to indicate the arrangement of the books (categorical; 1 to 8)
repidentifier to indicate the repetition, i.e. the number of sweeps (categorical; 1 to 40)
Response variable
snumber of times that a tag was successfully identified (count; 0 to 40)
fnumber of times that a tag was not identified (count; 0 to 40, by definition f = 40-s)
rsuccess ratio (ratio; r = s/40)
Predictor variables
tpoTag position (binary; near spine or near opening side)
torTag orientation (binary; standing or laying)
sdiDistance to nearest shelf side (ratio; cm)
bthThickness of book (ratio; cm)
bt3Thickness over three books (ratio; cm)
stdSpine tag density, determined by kernel smoothing (ratio; nr/cm)
