Details
This dataset was originally part of package nlme
, and that has
methods (including for [
, as.data.frame
, plot
and
print
) for its grouped-data classes.
Format
An object of class
c("nfnGroupedData", "nfGroupedData", "groupedData", "data.frame")
containing the following columns:
- Tree
- an ordered factor indicating the tree on which the measurement is made. The ordering is according to increasing maximum diameter.
- age
- a numeric vector giving the age of the tree (days since 1968/12/31)
- circumference
- a numeric vector of trunk circumferences (mm). This is probably circumference at breast height, a standard measurement in forestry.
