Flower Production and Temperature

Description

A data set containing variables for flower production and temperature, averaged yearly for 30 years, from a dry tropical forest.

Details

The data in this data set are samples from a larger study that compared flower production between forest types over 30 years, based on climate variables. The data in this set are from a dry tropical forest, include variables for annual flower production, temperature, and year. These data are suitable for considering the temporal non-independence of observations in generalized least squares (GLS) estimation, for the example in the book, Permutational Biometry (Collyer & Adams, 2025).
