wheat: Mercer and Hall wheat yield data

Description

Mercer and Hall wheat yield data, based on version in Cressie (1993), p. 455.

Usage

data(wheat)

Arguments

Format

The format of the object generated by running data(wheat) is a three column data frame made available by Hongfei Li. The example section shows how to convert this to the object used in demonstrating the aple function, and is a: Formal class 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' [package "sp"] with 5 slots; the data slot is a data frame with 500 observations on the following 6 variables.

lat: local coordinates northings ordered north to south
yield: Mercer and Hall wheat yield data
r: rows south to north; levels in distance units of plot centres
c: columns west to east; levels in distance units of plot centres
lon: local coordinates eastings
lat1: local coordinates northings ordered south to north
