Introduction to Dataset

Description: Growth of Orange Trees

The Orange data frame has 35 rows and 3 columns of records of the growth of orange trees.

Variables

  • Tree: an ordered factor indicating the tree on which the measurement is made. The ordering is according to increasing maximum diameter.
  • age: a numeric vector giving the age of the tree (days since 1968/12/31)
  • circumference: a numeric vector of trunk circumferences (mm). This is probably “circumference at breast height”, a standard measurement in forestry.
