Extensive data bases on Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) properties such as the BATSE 3B catalog (Meegan et al. 1996) contain a wealth of statistical information. The nine entries of the 3B database for each GRB consist of two durations, T50, T90, which contain 50% and 90% of the burst energy, respectively; four fluences (time-integrated energy fluxes) F1, F2, F3, F4, defined over different energy channels; and three measures of the peak flux (each summed over the four energy channels), measured over three different resolution timescales (64 ms, 256 ms and 1024 ms). Thus the initial number of variables is n = 9. There is, of course, some incompleteness in the catalog. There are 625 GRBs having all 9 non-zero quantities, and only they are considered here.
