C1: Six Herbicide Data Sets

Description

The C1--C4, M2 and M4 data frames have 40 to 72 rows and three columns. Six bioassay on the action of the herbicides chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron methyl on the callus area of colonies of Brassica napus L. The experiments consist of measurements for different dose levels and can be balanced (C4, M2) or unbalanced (C1, C2, C3, M4).
