SATFRUIT: Fruit Trees

In PASWR2: Probability and Statistics with R, Second Edition

Description

To estimate the total surface occupied by fruit trees in 3 small areas (R63, R67, and R68) of Navarre (Spain) in 2001, a sample of 47 square segments has been taken. The experimental units are square segments or quadrats of 4 hectares, obtained by random sampling after overlaying a square grid on the study domain.

Usage

SATFRUIT

Format

A data frame with 47 observations on the following 17 variables:

• quadrat (number of the sampled segment or quadrat)

• smallarea (the small area, a factor with levels R63, R67, and R68)

• wheat (area classified as wheat in the sampled segment)

• barley (area classified as barley in the sampled segment)

• nonarable (area classified as non-arable in the sampled segment)

• corn (area classified as corn in the sampled segment)

• sunflower (area classified as sunflower in the sampled segment)

• vineyard (area classified as vineyard in the sampled segment)

• grass (area classified as grass in the sampled segment)

• asparagus (area classified as asparagus in the sampled segment)

• alfalfa (area classified as alfalfa in the sampled segment)

• rape (area classified as rape in the sampled segment)

• rice (area classified as rice in the sampled segment)

• almonds (area classified as almonds in the sampled segment)

• olives (area classified as olives in the sampled segment)

• fruit (area classified as fruit trees in the sampled segment)

• observed (the observed area of fruit trees in the sampled segment)
