Orange {datasets} | R Documentation |
The Orange
data frame has 35 rows and 3 columns of records of
the growth of orange trees.
Orange
This data frame contains the following columns:
an ordered factor indicating the tree on which the measurement is made. The ordering is according to increasing maximum diameter.
a numeric vector giving the age of the tree (days since 1968/12/31)
a numeric vector of trunk circumferences (mm). This is probably “circumference at breast height”, a standard measurement in forestry.
