Examples

## Lay table out as a 3D array, as in Fisher (1936)
abc <- aperm(array(mendelABC[,4], dim=c(3,3,3), 
                   dimnames=c("B","C","A")), 
             c(1,3,2))
dimnames(abc) <- list(B=c('BB','Bb','bb'), 
                      A=c('AA','Aa','aa'),
                      C=c('CC','Cc','cc'))
