In agridat: Agricultural Datasets

RCB experiment of rice, measuring white heads

Description

RCB experiment of rice, measuring white heads

Usage

data("gomez.nonnormal2")

Format

A data frame with 42 observations on the following 3 variables.

gen

genotype

rep

replicate

white

percentage of white heads

Details

The data are the percent of white heads from a rice variety trial of 14 varieties with 3 reps. Because many of the values are less than 10, the suggested data transformation is sqrt(x+.5).

Examples

library(agridat)

data(gomez.nonnormal2)
dat <- gomez.nonnormal2

# Gomez suggested sqrt transform
dat <- transform(dat, twhite = sqrt(white+.5))

# QQ plots for raw/transformed data
libs(reshape2, lattice)
qqmath( ~ value|variable, data=melt(dat),
       main="gomez.nonnormal2 - raw/transformed QQ plot",
       scales=list(relation="free"))

# Gomez anova table 7.21
m1 <- lm(twhite ~ rep + gen, data=dat)
anova(m1)
