Dated Alsacian castles

Description

The data were collected by J.M. Rudrauf on Alsacian castles whose building period is known (even approximately). On each castle, he measured 4 structural parameters on a sample of building stones.

Usage

data(castles.dated)

Format

castles.dated is a list of two data frames:

• castles.dated$stones: this first data frame has 1262 cases (rows) and 5 variables (columns) that are named height, width, edging, boss (numeric) and castle (factor).

• castles.dated$periods: this second data frame has 68 cases and 2 variables named castle and period; the column castle corresponds to the levels of the factor castle of the first data frame; the column period is a factor with 6 levels indicating the approximative building period. Thus this factor defines 6 classes of castles.
