Description
A classical N, P, K (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium) factorial
  experiment on the growth of peas conducted on 6 blocks. Each half of a
  fractional factorial design confounding the NPK interaction was used
  on 3 of the plots.Format
The npk data frame has 24 rows and 5 columns:
  
    block- 
      which block (label 1 to 6).
    
 
    N- 
      indicator (0/1) for the application of nitrogen.
    
 
    P- 
      indicator (0/1) for the application of phosphate.
    
 
    K- 
      indicator (0/1) for the application of potassium.
    
 
    yield- 
      Yield of peas, in pounds/plot (the plots were (1/70) acre).
